JOURNAL TITLE: Indian Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Plexiform neurofibromatosis, also known as pachydermatocele, is a rare type of neurofibromatosis, caused by excessive growth of the neural tissue in the subcutaneous fat. This condition is rare in Indian subcontinent but when it occurs, it causes cosmetic as well as functional disability. The optimal management of plexiform neurofibroma is not well defined and surgery is often delayed. We report a rare case of neurofibromatosis with pachydermatocele involving the nerves of the left thigh and leg with disfigurement and associated disability.
