[Neurofibroma with a glandular component]

A 21-year-old man had a delimited tumour of a size of a nut, which grew expansively in the subcutaneous region of the thigh. It had the structure of neurofibroma with myofibrils and with a glandular component which on electronoptic examination was cylindromatous nature. This case is the eighth one in literature and the first one documented electronoptically. A similar tumour in a 26-year-old woman was located in the subcutaneous layer of the calf but, apart from this electronoptic structure revealed a multitude of tumours cells of a tonofibril corresponding to the spinocellular epithelium. The possibility is discussed whether even this tumour may not be of neurofibromatous origin.
