Sumario:Neurofibromas of the penis, although very rare, are often associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. Primary solitary neurofibromas of the penis are extremely rare. We describe a 37-year-old man with a solitary neurofibroma in the dorsum of the penis. The patient reported difficulty with sexual intercourse owing to a penile mass and erectile dysfunction. After surgical excision of the neurofibroma, he had no pain and a normal sensation of the penile glans, and his erectile dysfunction improved. At the present time, 26 months after surgery, there has been no evidence of tumor recurrence.
