Abstract

We report a case of an uncommon cutaneous neoplasm of nerve sheath myxoma in a 25-year-old woman who had a papule on the left cheek of her face. The histologic findings of the lesion showed that lobulated tumors were composed of spindle shaped and stellate tumor cells in an abundant matrix of mucosubstances. The electron microscopic findings showed numerous cytoplasmic myelin figures, and interdigitating long cytoplasmic processes. 5-100 protein was not discovered and alcian blue and PAS stain showed positive. After surgical excision of tumor, the patient did not have any evidence of disease for one year.
