Neurothekeomas (NTKs) are rare benign soft tissue tumours that typically occur in the head, trunk, and upper limbs and are rare in other parts of the body.
Herein, we present two rare cases in which primary NTKs were located in the hallux and axilla. A 47-year-old woman complained of a verrucous bulge on the plantar side of the left hallux. The surface skin of the tumour was abraded due to poor wound healing. A 6-year-old boy complained of a gradually growing subcutaneous mass in the axilla. The tumours of both patients were completely resected, and the diagnosis of NTK was confirmed by histopathology. At the one-year follow-up, both patients had a good prognosis without local recurrence.
To date, NTKs located in the hallux and axilla have rarely been reported in the literature. We describe NTKs that occurred in unconventional areas and summarize the challenges in their diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
神经鞘黏液瘤(NTKs)是罕见的良性软组织肿瘤,通常发生于头部、躯干和上肢,在身体其他部位较为罕见。
在此,我们报告两例罕见病例,原发性NTKs分别位于拇趾和腋窝。一名47岁女性主诉左拇趾足底侧有疣状隆起。由于伤口愈合不良,肿瘤表面皮肤有擦伤。一名6岁男孩主诉腋窝有一个逐渐增大的皮下肿块。两名患者的肿瘤均被完整切除,组织病理学确诊为NTK。在一年的随访中,两名患者预后良好,无局部复发。
迄今为止,文献中很少报道位于拇趾和腋窝的NTKs。我们描述了发生在非常规部位的NTKs,并总结了其诊断和鉴别诊断中的挑战。
