Abstract
Two cases of intestinal neurofibromas which were demonstrated during mesenteric arteriography are described. In 1 patient, tumors located in the jejunum and distal ileum were the apparent source of gastrointestinal bleeding. In another case, a neurofibroma of the proximal jejunum was an incidental finding during evaluation for severe pancreatitis and bleeding from esophageal varices.
