Abstract:
Plexiform neurilemmoma is a relatively rare, benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor, whieh usually arises in either the dermis or subcutaneous tissue. These tumors may occur singly or as multiple lesions (plexiform neurilemmomatosis), We report an unusual case of plexiform neurilemmomatosis associated with cafe au lait spots reminiscent of neurofibromatosis clinically and another case of plexiform neurilemmoma on the finger. A Biopsy revealed the characteristic palisaded arrangement of spindle cells within well circumscribed elongated nodules, The skin lesions were completely excised without recurrence thereafter.
