Nerve sheath myxomas (NEUROTHEKEOMA) are uncommon tumors of nerve sheet origin. These tumors most frequently arise from in the dermis and subcutaneous tissues of the head and neck, and upper extremities. Neurothekeoma may be either asymptomatic or may present as a painful raised, skin colored, well circumscribed dermal lesion averaging 1 cm in diameter. This entity is especially rare in the foot and we present a 15 years old male patient with a large (6.5 cm) recurrent eurothekeoma of the left foot.
