NEUROFIBROMATA SIMULATING A PENIS AND LABIOSCROTAL GONADS IN A GIRL WITH VON RECKLINGHAUSEN'S DISEASE
Keyword(s):
A 15-year-old girl is described, who had ambiguous genitalia from birth. Enlargement of the clitoris, and labioscrotal masses were present; these were shown to be due to unusually situated neurofibromata. This is the first reported instance of neurofibromata masquerading as a phallus and testes. Prior to the correct histologic diagnosis of the neurofibromata, she underwent two exploratory laparotomies, and unilateral ovariectomy in an attempt to explain the etiology of her ambiguous genitalia.
