Gastrointestinal involvement of neurofibromatosis type 1 (
NF1
, Von Recklinghausen's disease) is generally associated with the upper gastrointestinal tract. Abdominal manifestation of
NF1
includes several tumors such as malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, gastrointestinal stromal tumors and ampulla of vater tumors. However, colonic involvement in
NF1
patients is rare. We report a case of a patient presenting with
dysphagia
, weight loss, intermittent abdominal pain and constipation caused by a single cecal neurofibroma obstructing the ileocecal valve. Also gastrointestinal involvement of the lower tract should be considered in patients with
NF1
presenting with abdominal complaints.
