Abstract
Solitary neurofibroma of a digit is a rare presentation. Diagnostic workup of this lesion highlights the wide scope of differential entities. Patients should undergo both imaging studies and biopsy. Ultrasound and MRI can often narrow the differential diagnosis but must be read by a skilled interpreter. Biopsy should always be performed as a seemingly benign lesion may prove to be malignant. Literature review and a case report are presented.
