NEUROTHEKEOMAS ARE RARE, BENIGN, SUPERFICIAL CUTANEOUS TUMORS WITH VARIABLE HISTOLOGIC PATTERNS, INCLUDING MYXOID, CELLULAR, OR MIXED-TYPE BASED PRIMARILY ON THE AMOUNT OF MYXOID MATRIX PRESENT. THEY FREQUENTLY OCCUR IN THE HEAD AND NECK AND TEND TO AFFECT FEMALES MORE OFTEN THAN MALES, USUALLY IN THE SECOND AND EARLY THIRD DECADES OF LIFE.
