Central Mandibular Nerve Sheath Myxoma
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Nerve sheath myxoma has been described as a rare neural tumor arising from Schwann cells. It is observed most frequently in the central area of the face, neck and upper extremities. In the past the term neurothekeoma was used as synonym for nerve sheath myxoma but according to new reports, they are separate entities which can be confirmed by immunohistochemistry as in our case. Oral involvement of this tumor is extremely rare. Here, we present an unusual case of nerve sheath myxoma in the mandible of a 22-year old female patient. This case appears to be the first myxomatous variant which is centrally located in the mandible.

Nerve sheath myxoma (NSM) of the oral mucosa is a slow-growing, benign, often asymptomatic submucosal mass. We report on a case of classical NSM of the tongue, with diagnostic and therapeutic approach to the case. Many NSM arise within the endoneurium of a peripheral nerve. It is a rare condition with no apparent differences between sexes in its prevalence. It can occur at any age.

An 18-year-old Japanese male presented with a normal-skin-colored, dome-shaped, slightly tender tumor on his left palm. Histopathologically, the tumor consisted of distinct lobules, which were separated by fibrous connective tissue. Each lobule was composed of spindle or round cells within a myxoid matrix, pathognomonic of nerve sheath myxoma. The mucinous material was positively stained by Alc...

CD34+ fibroblast-like cells were scarce, and nerve axons were not found in the tumor. Clinical patho...
متن کاملNerve sheath myxoma: report of a rare case.
Nerve sheath myxoma defined by Harkin and Reed is an uncommon benign neoplasm with nerve sheath like features. It has several cytological and histological differential diagnoses. One such lesion is neurothekeoma, which can be differentiated using immunohistochemistry. In most of the previous reports nerve sheath myxoma and neurothekeoma were considered synonymous and were often confused for one...
