Abstract
- Nerve sheath myxoma(NSM) is rare benign neoplasm of the dermis, divided into myxoid, cellular and mixed types. Myxoid NSM is asymptomatic, soft, skin colored or translucent papule or nodule in middle-aged adults and typically located on the face and the upper extremities. We, herein, reported a case of myxoid NSM in a 3 1-year -old male who had a painful, 1 X 1cm sized, dome-shaped nodule on the left sole.
