Neuroma encapsulado em paliçada − simulando carcinoma basocelular: Relato de caso
2013
Palisaded encapsulated neuromas are solitary neural skin tumors characterized by the presence of compact and parallel bundles of Schwann cell fascicles. The present article reports a case of this type of tumor, which was confirmed by anatomic pathological examination of a 55-year-old female patient who reported hypochromic macula growth, which had evolved into a smooth domed superficial papule with telangiectasias, simulating a basal cell carcinoma. Having knowledge of this entity is crucial in order to carry out differential diagnoses—comparing it to other lesions—especially basal cell carcinomas, skin appendage tumors, nevi, and epidermal cysts.
