Reflectance confocal microscopy of neurothekeoma: case report

The role of dermoscopy in the diagnosis of neurothekeoma – personal observations and review of previously reported cases

“…1 In the literature, we have found only a few dermoscopic reports concerning this rare entity (Table 1). [3][4][5][6][7][8] Among these 18 dermoscopic cases diagnosed in eight patients, most (n = 14) were located on the limbs and represented a cellular variant (n = 14). Most cases (15/18) presented with arborizing (branched) vessels, observed independently on the histopathological variant and anatomical location.…”

“…It usually presents as an asymptomatic, pink‐red or brown nodule, although some lesions can be painful under pressure 1 . Dermoscopy of neurothekeoma seems to be under‐investigated, with a few cases reported in the literature 3–8 . Herein we report another two cases of this entity and summarize previous data on its dermoscopic features.…”
