Breast Neurilemmoma

ABSTRACT

Neurilemmoma is a benign neoplasm of Schwann cell origin, most frequently seen in the extremities and the trunk and head region. Breast is a very unusual site for this tumor. We report a case of neurilemmoma of the breast in a 27-years-old woman. The palpable mass was localized in the lower outer quadrant of the right breast This intramammary tumor appeared sonographically as a well-circumscribed, inhomogeneous solid mass Microscopically, it had a pattern similar to that of Neurilemmoma of other sites
