Core Tip	Plexiform neurofibroma manifestation in the region of cauda equina is an exceptionally rare event, as only 7 cases were described in the literature up-to-date. We present the 8th such case with the follow-up period of 10 years. Diagnosis was delayed because patient was initially misdiagnosed with the idiopathic polyneuropathy. In order to minimize the necessity for additional interventions in the future, we would recommend to pursue an extensive decompression with duraplasty and primary spinal fixation as the initial management of choice. However, we would strongly suggest to abstain from tumor resection attempts as risk of neurological complications is high.
