Neurofibromas are tumors of neural origin. They can be solitary or may be associated with neurofibromatosis type-1 (NF-1). These are mostly seen in the head and neck region, upper extremities or along the nerves. Visceral neurofibromas are extremely rare. In this paper, we present an unusual case of solitary neurofibroma of the adrenal gland not associated with NF-1.
