Abstract:
Background:The brachial plexus’ neurilemmoma is an extremely rare neoplasia.
Case Report: A 61 years old woman came to our hospital with a clinical history of serum-hematic secretion from
the right nipple. The physical examination was otherwise unremarkable.
She had a negative mammography, while in the right retro-areolar section the ultrasound examination
showed an ipoechoic lesion, with well defined margins, consistent with a papilloma and/or
an intracanalicular fibroadenoma. In the left axilla, a solid capsulated, homogeneous, vascularized
nodule was detected, non-univocally interpretable, suspicious for malignancy.
The fine needle aspiration biopsy was consistent with mesenchimal neoformation, uncertain whether
benign or malignant.
Conclusions: After surgical removal the pathological diagnosis was: neurilemmoma.
