Neurilemoma of the breast in a man. A case report.
A case of neurilemoma of the left breast in an 83-year-old man is presented, including the fine needle aspiration and biopsy diagnosis. A review of the literature did not reveal the existence of such a tumor in a man's breast. The aspirate yielded a cellular smear composed of clusters of spindle-shaped cells showing minimal atypia and Verocay bodies. The final diagnosis was established on the excised mass through histopathologic study.
