Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Dendritic cell neurofibroma with pseudorosettes (DCNWPR) is a recently proposed variant of neurofibroma. However, its peripheral nerve sheath origin has subsequently been questioned, and it has been suggested that the neoplasm could represent a hitherto undescribed variant of melanocytic nevus with neural differentiation. Here we report a case of DCNWPR that arose almost exclusively within the confinement of the perineurium in the skin. This observation gives further evidence that this entity is a peripheral nerve sheath tumor and is unrelated to melanocytic neoplasms.
