NERVE SHEATH MYXOMA IN AN UNCHARTED TERRITORY
Keywords:
NERVE SHEATH MYXOMA
Abstract
Dermal nerve sheath myxoma is a rare benign tumor of perineural schwann cells of peripheral nerves1. It commonly affects limbs of younger adults with peak incidence in thirties2 and has a high recurrence rate if not fully excised. This is a case of an elderly female who presented with a swelling in the right nasal cavity. Excision biopsy of the mass was done and histopathology showed features of nerve sheath myxoma.
