| مستخلص: | Nerve sheath tumors comprise 5% of soft tissue masses of the upper limb in adults. Neurofibromas are divided into three types: localized, diffuse, and plexi- form. The diffuse type is rare and is typically found in the head and neck region. We present a rare case of diffuse type neurofibroma found in the forearm, presented to our clinic as a slowly enlarging mass of the left forearm of 3 years duration. The lesion was suspicious in the magnetic resonance imaging, and biopsy revealed diffuse type neurofibroma. We opted for total excision of the lesion that was found to be not possible due to involvement of the major nerves. The final pathology report showed no malignancy. Nerve tumors of the upper limb can be either benign or malignant. Neurofibroma associated with neurofibromatosis has malignant potential. The diffuse type is rare, and it most commonly occurs in the head and neck region. It has a low malignant transformation rate. Magnetic resonance imaging is the diagnostic modality of choice; however, it can be inconclusive. Biopsy should be taken to confirm the diagnosis and plan for management. Our case was managed by near total excision in order to preserve the major forearm nerves because of high clinical suspicion. (Copyright © 2022 The Authors.
