“…Though we did not have any facility, immunohistochemical approach is usually undertaken in current assessment of soft tissue tumour especially with unusual clinicopathological features as ours. Schwannomas are often associated with cystic changes compared to PN, however, on histology, the absence of a mixture of two growth patterns Antoni A, and Antoni B (Asuquo et al 2013), in Figure 4b and the characteristic features of PN confirmed the diagnosis.…”

Objective: To report a rare occurrence of giant, solitary, cystic, intramuscular plexiform neurofibroma in the thigh. Case Report: A 45-year-old architect presented with a 5-year history of painless, progressively enlarging soft tissue mass in the right thigh, which was diagnosed on histology as cystic plexiform neurofibroma after excision biopsy. Conclusion: A plexiform neurofibroma should be considered in the differentials of a solitary cystic mass in the thigh even in the absence of usual manifestations of Neurofibromatosis.

“…Reports have indicated that 25%~45% of extracranial schwannomas develop on the head and neck 3 . However, schwannoma development on the scalp is rare 4 5 6 . According to a study analyzing 22 patients with extracranial non-vestibular head and neck schwannomas, 76% were unilateral neck masses 7 .…”

A schwannoma can develop anywhere along the course of nerves. However, a schwannoma presenting as a scalp nodule is rare. Here, we present a rare case of schwannoma on the scalp with a review of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, which was initially misdiagnosed as an epidermal cyst or vascular malformation despite various radiologic examinations. Recognition of characteristic MRI features of schwannomas, such as low signal margin, target, entering-and-exiting-nerve, and fascicular signs, may result in an accurate diagnosis and proper management of tumors. In this report, we summarized differential characteristics of a schwannoma with an epidermal cyst and a lipoma. (Ann Dermatol 32(1) 64∼68, 2020

“…In the literature, there are very few cases of cutaneous schwannomas reported. As previously stated, they can occur anywhere on the body, including the scalp [3] , [4] , trunk [5] , and feet [6] . By reporting this case, we hope to further expand the literature on this pathology.…”
