Abstract

A 41-year-old female with 'cafe au lait' and multiple skin neurofibromas was admit - ted with a complaint of constipation, abdominal pain and distention. The colonoscopic investiga - tion was normal, however computed tomography revealed a mass in the cecal wall. Thereon, right hemicolectomy was performed to the patient. Histopathologic examination revealed ganglioneu - romatosis of the cecum. There was not any recurrence after three years of follow-up. An intestinal manifestation of von Recklinghausen's disease should be kept in mind in a patient who has multi - ple neurofibromas and 'cafe au lait' spots with intractable constipation and intestinal obstruction. a
