Abstract
Neurilemmoma is a benign nerve sheath tumor where surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Here we present a rare case of neurilemoma that mimics malignant soft tissue tumor.
This patient presented with atypical history of a irregular huge mass on left thigh with clinical as well as investigative findings suggestive of a malignant soft tissue tumor. The mass was excised and excisional biopsy came out to be a neurilemmoma.
Keywords: Neurilemmoma, Atypical Presentation, Mimicking Malignancy
