 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9 Nerve sheath myxoma of Clinical Pathology Of: Jane scorching, Luo Keshu has Dongmei [Abstract] Objective To investigate the nerve sheath myxoma of the clinical and pathological features and differential diagnosis. Methods 1 case of nerve sheath myxoma cases of pathological routine examination and immunohistochemical markers were analyzed with review of the literature. Results microscope, tumor cells arranged lobulated, there have been abundant mesenchymal mucus, immunohistochemical expression of S-100, PGP 9.5, NSE and other neurogenic markers. Conclusion nerve sheath myxomas occur in young people is a rare benign tumor, more confined to the dermis, the study suggests that tumor cells Schwann cells or neural support (cell) differentiation, very little recurrence after complete resection.
