Schwannomas are benign tumors derived from Schwann cells. They are comparatively rare on scalp and easily mistaken for tumors of hair. Trichilemmal cysts are common over scalp and present as dermal or subcutaneous growths over scalp. We present a solitary schwannoma of scalp clinically mimicking trichilemmal cyst. The tumor was surgically excised and the same was confirmed by histopathology.
施万细胞瘤是源自施万细胞的良性肿瘤。它们在头皮上相对罕见,且容易被误诊为毛发肿瘤。毛囊囊肿在头皮上很常见,表现为头皮上的真皮或皮下肿物。我们报告一例临床上酷似毛囊囊肿的头皮孤立性施万细胞瘤。该肿瘤经手术切除,组织病理学检查证实诊断。
