Abstract
- Myxoid neurofibroma is a histological variant of neurofibroma and represent a conventional neurofibroma with extensive deposition of stromal mucin. Myxoid neurofibroma may present as a sporadic lesion or in the context of neurofibromatosis I. The most common locations of the myxoid neurofibroma are the face, shoulders, arms, periungual area and in the feet. To the best of our knowledge, location in an inguinal area has been rarely reported. We report a case of a 37-year-old man with a solitary myxoid neurofibroma in the right inguinal area.
