Unusual Solitary Neurofibroma of Common Peroneal Nerve in a Child

Neurofibroma (NF) is a tumour of peripheral nerves, which would be seldom seen in the limbs, particularly in children's limbs. Soft, skin-coloured papules or small sub-mucosal nodules appear as these lesions. Neurofibroma is classified into three types: localized, diffuse, and plexiform. The vast majority of nerve injury is sporadic and localized, with an incredibly low risk of tumour formation. Neurofibromatosis can present as multiple skin lesions along with bone deformities in which a full investigation is critical where an undiscovered widespread illness may arise. This case study describes a neurofibroma on the common peroneal nerve of the left lower limb in a 6-year-old child who visited our hospital with chief complaints of pain and swelling around the left proximal leg.
