Intraosseous Neurothekeoma of the Hand in a 16-year-old Boy.

Soft-tissue tumors are rare in the pediatric population. First described in 1969 as myxoma of the nerve sheath, the neurothekeoma is a benign tumor lesion with presumable origin in the nerve sheath. It occurs mainly in female children and presents as a mass of slow, subcutaneous growth, asymptomatic and without alteration of the local pigmentation.
