Summary A 35‐year‐old woman had had pruritic linearly arranged papules on the right side of her forehead for 17 years. A biopsy specimen from one of the papules showed the histopathological appearance of an intradermal plexiform neurilemmoma. No other features of systemic neurofibromatosis or neurilemmomatosis were detected. Neurilemmoma usually occurs as a solitary lesion in the subcutis and there are only few reports of such localized multiple intradermal neurilemmomas associated with neither neurofibromatosis nor neurilemmomatosis.
