Abstract
- Palisaded encapsulated neuroma is a benign neural tumor located almost exclusively on the face of middle-aged adults. We report a case of palisaded encapsulated neuroma which developed on the upper lip of a 45-year-old man. Clinically, the lesion was asymptomatic, solitary, dome-shaped, pink papule. Histologically, there was a well-demarcated dermal nodule composed of fascicles of Schwann cells. On Bielschowsky staining, numerous axons were observed.
