Résumé
Plexiform schwannoma is a form of schwannoma which usually involves cutaneous tissues. It cannot be easily differentiated from malignant tumors, especially deep or cellular lesions. We report a deep plexiform schwannoma which we place among the various benign or malignant nerve sheath tumors, which may or may not develop within the context of genetic disease. Finally, the differential diagnoses are discussed. Recognition of the lesion is necessary for appropriate treatment.
