Abstract

The female genital tract system is rarely affected by neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Plexiform neurofibromas are congenital lesions that occur in patients with NF1. The vulva is the most frequent genital location but vaginal, cervical, uterine, and ovarian neurofibromas have rarely been reported. We describe a case of plexiform neurofibromas involving the uterine cervix in a patient with known NF1 that presented with chronic pelvic pain and heavy menstrual bleeding.
