Abstract :
Introduction Nerve sheath myxoma (NSM) is a rare benign neoplasm
of nerve sheath origin with Schwann cell differentiation. NSM and
neurothekeoma were considered one single phenomenon in the past. Case
Presentation A 28-year-old woman presented to our hospital clinic with
pain and a fixed firm mass in the proximal phalanx of the right second
finger. Excisional biopsy was performed and histological examination
revealed NSM. Conclusions Based on the findings, NSM should be
considered in the differential diagnosis of firm and tender masses in
the upper extremities of young adults.
