Myxoid neurofibroma: an unusual presentation

Indian J Dermatol. 2008 Jan;53(1):35-6. doi: 10.4103/0019-5154.39742.

Abstract

Myxoid neurofibroma (MN) is a benign tumor of perineural cell origin, which is demonstrated with a positive immunohistochemical staining for S-100 protein. The most common locations of the MN are the face, shoulders, arms, periungual and in the feet. To our knowledge, this is the first time that a trunk location is reported. MN should be included in the differential diagnosis of tumors on this location.
