Last edited: 4/15/2026

Overview

Neurothekeoma is a rare, benign cutaneous tumor characterized by distinctive histologic features and specific clinical presentations 1.

Diagnosis

  • Histologic Features: Distinctive microscopic appearance 1.
  • Clinical Presentation: Typically localized, often on the extremities 1.
  • Biopsy: Essential for definitive diagnosis 1.
  • Management

  • Surgical Excision: Primary treatment for complete removal 1.
  • Reconstruction: May be necessary post-excision depending on size and location 1.
  • Special Populations

  • No Specific Guidelines: Limited data on neurothekeoma in special populations such as pregnancy, pediatrics, or elderly patients 1.
  • Key Recommendations

  • Perform surgical excision for definitive treatment of neurothekeoma (Evidence: Expert opinion) 1.
  • Consider reconstructive procedures post-excision to optimize cosmetic and functional outcomes (Evidence: Expert opinion) 1.
  • Biopsy is crucial for confirming the diagnosis of neurothekeoma (Evidence: Expert opinion) 1.
