Abstract
- Palisaded encapsulated neuroma is a primary hyperplasia of Schwann cell and axon nerve fiber. It is characterized clinically by a solitary, slowly-growing and dome-shaped papule or nodule, and histopathologically by encapsulated nodule in the dermis and the palisading arrangement of nuclei. We report a case of palisaded encapsulated neuroma which had developed in the face of a 22-year-old female over the course of about 6months. Histopathological findings showed a well-demarcated intradermal nodule and its capsule. The nodule is composed of spindle cell with prominat basophilic nuclei and little cytoplasm in a palisading fashion. We report a case of palisaded encapsulated neuroma with a review of the literature.
