Abstract
Neurofibroma associated with neurofibromatosis is a common benign tumor of skin arising from the peripheral nervous system, however, solitary giant neurofibroma of the scalp with or without character of neurofibromatosis type 1 is rare, and only a few cases have been reported. We experienced a rare case of 50-year-old female with a solitaly giant scalp neurofibroma which involved the left fronto-parieto-occipital regions. She first noticed a small lump at her left parieto-occipital regions and it grew slowly. The tumor had rich vascularity and there was thinning of the skull beneath the tumor. We successfully resected the giant scalp tumor and discussed the nature and surgical problem of the tumor.
