Neurothekeoma is a benign nerve sheath tumor, also known as nerve sheath myxoma. It arises from the cutaneous nerves of the head and neck region. In certain cases, neurothekeoma has been reported in the breast, oral cavity, tongue, maxilla, and spinal intradural space. Intracranial neurothekeoma, however, is an extremely rare entity, with only three cases reported in the literature: one in the parasellar region, one in the deep white matter, and another one in the cerebellopontine angle. We present the case of a 40-year-old man with a very large neurothekeoma present in the posterior fossa who had no neurologic deficit on presentation.
神经鞘黏液瘤是一种良性神经鞘瘤，也称为神经鞘黏液瘤。它起源于头颈部区域的皮神经。在某些情况下，乳房、口腔、舌头、上颌骨和脊髓硬膜内间隙也有神经鞘黏液瘤的报道。然而，颅内神经鞘黏液瘤是一种极其罕见的疾病，文献中仅报道过3例：1例位于鞍旁区域，1例位于深部白质，另1例位于桥小脑角。我们报告1例40岁男性患者，后颅窝有一个非常大的神经鞘黏液瘤，就诊时无神经功能缺损。
