Neurothekeomas of the upper limb--case series and clinicopathological review.
Neurothekeomas are rare, benign soft tissue tumours that are considered to be of nerve sheath origin. We present a case series of three patients who have neurothekeomas of the upper limb. There was a remarkably high tumour recurrence rate. The factors contributing to this outcome were studied and a clinicopathological review was performed.
