Abstract

Spontaneous hip dislocation due to intraarticular neurofibroma in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 is extremely rare. We describe the imaging features of spontaneous dislocation of hip due to histologically proven intraarticular neurofibroma in young woman with neurofibromatosis type 1, and review the literature.
