A Case of Intraneural Neurofibroma in Neurofibromatosis / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Neurofibroma occurs as a sporadic tumor or hereditary lesions associated with neurofibromatosis. Histologically, cutaneous extraneural type is the most common form. Occasionally plexiform type is observed, but deep circumscribed intraneural type is rarely found in the skin. We report a case of well-encapsulated intraneural neurofibroma on the left abdomen of a 23-year- old woman showing various histologic features of neurofibroma. The tumor was encapsulated with perineurium which was continuous with remnant nerve of origin.
