Cellular neurothekeoma represents a benign, slow-growing neoplasm that typically occurs as a solitary lesion on the face, neck or arm. Reports of multiple lesions are rare. To our knowledge, multiple lesions occurring as eruptive clusters localized to a single anatomical site has not been previously reported. This report details a case of an agminated cellular neurothekeoma occurring on the nose of a 28-year-old man. Recognition of multiple localized eruptive lesions of cellular neurothekeoma is important in order to facilitate correct diagnosis and avoid unnecessary treatment.
Currently, the treatment of choice for refractory tertiary hyperparathyroidism is a total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation of the parathyroid tissue into the forearm. Recurrent hyperparathyroidism after autotransplantation requiring surgical excision of the autograft is uncommon. We describe a female patient with recurrent hyperplasia who underwent an excision of her parathyroid autograft. The excisional specimen was submitted to pathology with the only provided history of a 'left arm mass'. The lack of clinical history led to a preliminary impression of an adnexal neoplasm by the primary pathologist.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
