Pelvic neurofibroma is a rare condition and can be associated with neurofibromatosis-1 (NF-1). The diagnosis is primarily based on histopathology, though certain characteristic imaging features like the 'target sign' on T2W MRI are highly suggestive of the diagnosis. We describe a case of pelvic plexiform neurofibroma in a case of NF-1.
