Plexiform Neurofibroma (PNF) is a rare benign nerve tumor. It is usually considered pathognomonic of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1 or Von Recklinghausen disease). MRI is the examination of choice in the exploration of this pathology. It provides decisive arguments for the positive diagnosis, the evaluation of the prognosis and the follow-up of the lesions. Histological confirmation is sometimes necessary, especially in cases other than NF1. We report the observation of a 22-year-old woman who consulted for a mass of the left arm.
