Neurothekeomas, or simply nerve sheath myxomas, are rare benign skin neoplasms. They are believed to derive from peripheral nerve sheath transformation and are typically more prevalent in females. They tend to be found mainly on the upper limbs as well as head and neck locations. In this report, we detail two children with neurothekeomas, describe the fundamental clinical manifestations, and review the current literature.
