    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Oncology
    • Surgical Pathology
    • Bone Tumors

    Context:

    • Neurilemmomas, also known as schwannomas, are rare tumors originating from Schwann cells of peripheral nerves.
    • Bone involvement by neurilemmoma is exceptionally uncommon, with fewer than 40 cases reported in the literature.
    • Most reported cases of bone neurilemmoma have occurred in the jaw and maxillary bones.

    Purpose:

    • To describe a rare case of neurilemmoma in the proximal phalanx of the right thumb.
    • To review the existing literature on bone neurilemmomas, focusing on their location, clinical presentation, and radiographic findings.
    • To discuss the histopathological features and presumed origin of neurilemmoma in bone.

    Summary:

    • A rare case of a neurilemmoma in the proximal phalanx of the right thumb is presented.
    • This benign tumor, originating from Schwann cells, typically presents with slow growth and non-specific symptoms.
    • Radiographic examination revealed cystic bone defects, and histopathology showed two distinct cell types.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the rarity of neurilemmoma in the phalanges, expanding the known anatomical distribution of this bone tumor.
    • Emphasizes the importance of considering neurilemmoma in the differential diagnosis of bone lesions, even in unusual locations.
    • Recommends local tumor excision as the primary therapeutic approach for benign bone neurilemmomas.
