Popis: Objective: To report a rare occurrence of giant, solitary, cystic, intramuscular plexiform neurofibroma in the thigh. Case Report: A 45-year-old architect presented with a 5-year history of painless, progressively enlarging soft tissue mass in the right thigh, which was diagnosed on histology as cystic plexiform neurofibroma after excision biopsy. Conclusion: A plexiform neurofibroma should be considered in the differentials of a solitary cystic mass in the thigh even in the absence of usual manifestations of Neurofibromatosis.
