Myxoid Neurothekeoma is a rare benign nerve sheath tumor, commonly seen in young females. Patients usually present with a small nodule in different anatomical sites, commonly involving the face and the upper limb. We present the case of a five-month-old boy, who presented with a nodule on the left thumb. Punch biopsy and immunostaining confirmed the diagnosis of myxoid neurothekeoma. We believe this is the first reported case of myxoid neurothekeoma below 12 months of age.
黏液样神经鞘瘤是一种罕见的良性神经鞘瘤,常见于年轻女性。患者通常在不同解剖部位出现小结节,常见于面部和上肢。我们报告一例5个月大男孩,其左拇指出现一个结节。经皮穿刺活检和免疫染色确诊为黏液样神经鞘瘤。我们认为这是首例报道的12个月以下婴儿黏液样神经鞘瘤病例。
