Core Tip An appendiceal neurofibroma (ANF) is a rare neoplasm associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1), an inheritable neurocutaneous disorder that involves multiple systems including the intraabdominal organs. Appendiceal diverticulitis occasionally ruptures in the absence of intense abdominal pain, which can lead to serious consequences. There is still little information on the association between appendiceal diverticulitis and ANF in NF-1. This patient presented with NF-1 and developed an ANF, complicated with appendiceal diverticulitis, which highlights the possible association of appendiceal diverticulitis and ANF in NF-1. This case could be used to enhance clinicians’ awareness of abdominal manifestations in NF-1.
