title: [Case report of segmental neurofibromatosis of the 3rd finger ray].
abstract: We report on a 36-year-old woman suffering from a segmental neurofibromatosis solely confined to the third finger. Microscopically, the tumor showed mesenchymal tissue containing myxoid material with features of the nerve sheath--myxoid neurofibroma. The tumor was characterized by the peculiar tendency to grow in a multifocal pattern involving the distribution of every nerve of one finger, by an extreme proneness to local recurrences as well as by a concomitant bone defect.
