ABSTRACT

Neurothekeomas are very rare, benign, soft-tissue tumours that originate from the sheath of the peripheral nerves. They are commonly located on the upper extremities or the head and the neck. Pain is an unusual, clinical symptom. We report a case of a 69-year-old woman, who presented to us with a painful nodule on the upper inner surface of the left leg. With the histopathological, histochemical and immunostaining features, the lesion was diagnosed as S-100 (−)/CD68 (+) myxoid hypocellular neurothekeoma. The case was presented due to the unusual clinicopathological features.
