Case Report: Cellular neurothekeoma is a distinctive subtype of neurothekeoma with an undetermined histopathogenesis. We report a very rare case of bulbar conjunctiva cellular neurothekeoma in a 23-year-old woman.
Discussion: Neurothekeoma or nerve sheath myxoma is a rare benign tumor, which arises during childhood, and early adult life. It mainly locates in the upper portion of the body (head, neck and upper limbs). As far as we know, this is the first case report of cellular neurothekeoma in this location. Excisional biopsy is necessary to make the differential diagnosis from other cystic and malignant pathologies of the conjunctiva.

Atypical cellular neurothekeoma is a rare benign soft-tissue tumour that usually arises in the head and neck region, shoulder girdles, and proximal extremities, predominantly in young women. This dermal neoplasm is under-reported in the literature and is not uncommonly misdiagnosed as a malignant tumour due to its worrisome histologic characteristics. Currently, the diagnosis of cellular neurothekeoma relies on a panel of non-specific immunohistochemical markers and its etiopathogenesis is unknown.

Cellular neurothekeoma (CN) is a benign dermal neoplasm that most often affects the head and neck region and rarely occurs in the oral mucosa. We report a rare case of CN with atypical features on the floor of the mouth and summarize the reported cases of oral CN in English-language literature. A 62-year-old woman presented with a 6-month history of a painless mass on the floor of the mouth.
