Neurothekeoma is a rare and benign tumour that occurs most frequently on the head and neck. It is classified as a nerve sheath tumour and epidemiologically occurs in young adults. It is rare to find these tumours occurring in children. The following report describes a case of neurothekeoma in a young girl, its treatment and a review of the literature. Specific histological analysis may reveal atypical and aggressive features, which, in turn, affect resection and reconstructive options.
