Abstract

Nerve sheath tumors of gastrointestinal tract are rare and occurs more frequently as systemic manifestations of generalized neurofibromatosis type-1(NF-1). In neurofibromatosis-1 lesions may be scattered or solitary tumor. Occasionally, such tumors may be the initial presenting feature of NF-1. Rarely, cases of isolated nerve sheath tumor of small intestine presenting with bleeding and obstruction have been documented. We report a 19years male presenting with nerve sheath tumor of jejunum in acute abdomen. His investigations show no features of NF-1.
