title: A nevocellular nevus consisting mostly of nevic corpuscles.
abstract: A scalp tumor from a 24-year-old male presenting unusual histological finding is described. The tumor was mostly composed of corpuscles resembling Meissner tactile bodies and contained almost no other components. Immunohistochemical studies revealed the tumor cells to be positive for S-100 protein and neuron-specific enolase, so we considered the tumor to be an unusual nevocellular nevus mostly comprised of nevic corpuscles.
