RÉSUMÉ
Palisaded encapsulatee neuroma [PEN] is a genign intraneural neuroma presenting as a solitary, sessile, immobile, asymptomatic, skin-coloured papule or nodule, commonly affecting the butterfly area of the face of a middle-aged person. It is not associated with neurofibromatosis or multiple endocrine neoplasia. We hereby report a unique case presenting with a firm, nodular growth over the posteromedial aspect of right knee which progressively increased in size over one year. On the basis of histopathologic findings, diagnosis of palisaded encapsulated neuroma was made. It is imperative to diagnose it histopathologically, because it is more commonly middiagnosed clinically with schwannoma and neurofibroma
RÉSUMÉ
Lymphangioma circumscriptum [LC] is a form of lymphangioma involving skin and subcutaneous tissue. Circumscriptum as its name suggests, is a well-circumscribed small lesion but it has a rare extensive variety also. LC may resemble other entities such as metastatic carcinoma of skin, lymphangiectasis, syringocystadenoma papilliferum, lupus vulgaris, actinomycosis etc. It is a difficult condition to treat. Different modalities of treatment such as surgical excision, laser, sclerotherapy, radiofrequency coagulation are used to treat this condition. We report here clinical presentation mimicking lupus vulgaris and responding with anti-tubercular [ATT] chemotherapy
