Fine‐needle aspiration of superficial myxoid neurofibroma in the region of the breast
View through CrossRef
Myxoid neurofibromas are benign spindle cell tumors of perineural cell origin with a broad pathologic differential diagnosis, which includes myxoma, myxoid liposarcoma, myxoid dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, and low‐grade fibromyxoid sarcoma. We present an unusual case of superficial myxoid neurofibroma in the region of the breast that underwent pre‐operative fine‐needle aspiration (FNA). The differential diagnosis for a myxoid subcutaneous lesion should include myxoid neurofibroma when myxoid material is encountered in an otherwise hypocellular FNA. Diagn.
