Abstract
- Plexiform neurofibroma (PN) involvement of the external genitalia in patients with neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) is a rare cause of nonhormonal clitoromegaly. We present a 3-year-old female with known NF1 who presented with clitoromegaly. She was identified with an extensive pelvic mass involving the bladder wall, perineum, labia, clitoris, rectum, and sacral foramina. A partial cystectomy was performed, and histopathology was consistent with PN. She has been initiated on a mitogen activated protein kinase enzyme kinase inhibitor, trametinib, which has been effective in achieving partial radiographic response of the bladder mass over 5 months. Additionally, she has experienced clinical response to trematinib with resolution of urinary urgency and frequency since initiating treatment.
