- Abstract: Neurofibromas are benign tumors composed of a complex proliferation of neuromesenchymal tissue with residual nerve fibers. There are several distinct types of neurofibromas: cutaneous, subcutaneous, nodular plexiform, and diffuse plexiform. To our knowledge, none of these have previously been described in association with alopecia in the literature. We present a case of neurofibroma of the scalp which is associated with alopecia.
