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.
