Mixed-type neurothekeoma presenting with an unusual clinical appearance of multiple satellite lesions on the back

Ya-Wen Yang et al. Dermatol Surg. 2005 Jun.

Abstract

Background: Neurothekeoma is a rare cutaneous neoplasm, often occurring as a nondescript cutaneous nodule on the central face, shoulders, and upper extremities.

Objective: To present a patient with mixed-type neurothekeoma with an unusual clinical presentation.

Methods: We report a 29-year-old female who developed an asymptomatic, red, dermal nodule with satellite papules on the back over a period of 6 months.

Results: The coalescing papules on the back were excised, and the histopathology and immunohistochemical study revealed a mixed-type neurothekeoma.

Conclusion: Neurothekeoma usually presents with a small, solitary, and slow-growing nodule or papule on the upper body. The case is interesting because of the unusual clinical manifestation of one dermal tumor with several satellite lesions.
