Neurilemoma presenting as a lump in the breast.
A neurilemoma arising in breast tissue is reported. Neurilemomas are usually well circumscribed and non-invasive, but may be confused with cystosarcoma phylloides, particularly in frozen section. Pertinent pathologic findings are described, and the literature is reviewed. Only one case of neurilemoma in the breast has previously been reported.
