Scar-like lesion on dorsal nose (cellular neurothekeoma)

Neurothekeomas are tumors of neural differentiation and of unknown origin that occur in females at the 2(nd )and 3(rd )decades of life. They usually affect the face with an unspecific clinical aspect. The histological features include cellular or mixoid differentiation and immunohistochemistry can b...

description Neurothekeomas are tumors of neural differentiation and of unknown origin that occur in females at the 2(nd )and 3(rd )decades of life. They usually affect the face with an unspecific clinical aspect. The histological features include cellular or mixoid differentiation and immunohistochemistry can be positive for protein s-100, vimentin and epithelilal membrane antigen (EMA). This case report presents a 13-year-old female patient with nasal neurothekeoma of cellular variety and strongly positive for vimentin and s-100; and negative for EMA.
