? 2021 Elsevier Inc.A 16-year-old male presented with solitary occipital plexiform neurofibroma, which had grown slowly over several years to reach giant size, thereby mimicking a “double head.” There were no features of neurofibromatosis type 1. Total excision of the neurofibroma was done by infiltrating adrenaline circumferentially around the tumor before scalp incision. The feeding arteries were identified in the dense connective tissue above the aponeurosis and ligated or cauterized. Dissection was then carried out in the loose areolar tissue preserving the periosteal layer. There was no evidence of malignant transformation on histopathology, and 5-year follow-up showed no tumor recurrence.
