Abstract
Solitary neurofibromas of the genitourinary tract are rare; rarer still are neurofibromas of the urinary tract associated with the neurofibromatosis of von Recklinghausen's disease. We report the unusual occurrence of neurofibromatosis of the bladder in one child. The literature is reviewed.
