Cellular schwannoma (CS) is a variety of schwannoma with a predominantly cellular growth, normally developing in middle-aged patients. In this report, we describe a 15-month-old infant with primary cutaneous CS on the knee. Because of its histologically malignant features, CS is sometimes overdiagnosed as a malignant nerve tumor. Therefore, awareness of this variant of schwannoma is important for dermatologists to avoid needless treatments for patients with CS.
细胞性神经鞘瘤(CS)是神经鞘瘤的一种,主要呈细胞性生长,通常发生于中年患者。在本报告中,我们描述了一名15个月大的婴儿,其膝部患有原发性皮肤CS。由于其组织学上的恶性特征,CS有时会被过度诊断为恶性神经肿瘤。因此,皮肤科医生了解这种神经鞘瘤变体对于避免对CS患者进行不必要的治疗很重要。
