{Abstract}: <B>BACKGROUND: </B>Neuromuscular choristoma (NMC) is a rare congenital lesion in which muscle tissue is admixed with nerve fascicles within a peripheral nerve. Patients commonly present in early childhood with neuropathy, plexopathy, or chronic undergrowth in the distribution of the affected nerve.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>The authors present the case of a 35-year-old man with unrecognized neuromuscular NMC of the sciatic nerve, which resulted in recurrent, multicentric NMC-associated desmoid-type fibromatosis (NMC-DTF) within the nerve territory in association with a Marjolin ulcer, a cutaneous malignancy.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>Based on anatomical and pathophysiological findings described in this case report, the authors support the association between NMC-DTF and Marjolin ulcer.
