A Case of Cellular Neurothekeoma / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Cellular neurothekeoma is a rare, benign, cutaneous neoplasm of uncertain histogenesis and usually presents as a solitary papule or nodule on the head or neck area of children and young adults. Cellular neurothekeoma was thought to represent a cellular variant of nerve sheath myxoma but this neoplasm is histologically different from nerve sheath myxoma. Cellular neurothekeoma is characterized by a fasciculated, somewhat well-circumscribed proliferation of epithelioid and spindle cells. Herein, we report a case of cellular neurothekeoma with a review of related literature.
