Tactile-like corpuscles and fatty cell infiltration in neurofibroma

Neurofibroma is one of the major benign nerve sheath tumor characterized by proliferation of Schwann cells, fibroblasts, perineural fibroblasts, and axons. It can be seen as a solitary lesion or in the context of neurofibromatosis. It has been occasionally reported that tactile-like corpuscle is found in neurofibroma and there is only one report about fatty change in neurofibroma. We present an unusual case of neurofibroma occurring in the occipital scalp of a 66-year-old woman, which has tactile-like corpuscles and fatty cell infiltration.
