Neurothekeomas are benign tumours of nerve sheath origin. Neurothekeomas present most commonly on the head and neck and upper extremities. These are usually small, slow growing tumours. Most patients with neurothekeoma are young women. We describe a 1-year-old infant with a large and extensive neurothekeoma in the upper extremity. We believe that our patient is one of the youngest cases and the tumour is probably the largest and most extensive neurothekeoma reported in the literature.
神经鞘黏液瘤是起源于神经鞘的良性肿瘤。神经鞘黏液瘤最常见于头颈部和上肢。这些肿瘤通常较小，生长缓慢。大多数神经鞘黏液瘤患者为年轻女性。我们描述了一名1岁婴儿，其上肢患有巨大且广泛的神经鞘黏液瘤。我们认为我们的患者是最年轻的病例之一，且该肿瘤可能是文献报道中最大、最广泛的神经鞘黏液瘤。
