摘　　要：BACKGROUND Neurothekeomas(NTKs)are rare benign soft tissue tumours that typically occur in the head,trunk,and upper limbs and are rare in other parts of the body.CASE SUMMARY Herein,we present two rare cases in which primary NTKs were located in the hallux and axilla.A 47-year-old woman complained of a verrucous bulge on the plantar side of the left hallux.The surface skin of the tumour was abraded due to poor wound healing.A 6-year-old boy complained of a gradually growing subcutaneous mass in the axilla.The tumours of both patients were completely resected,and the diagnosis of NTK was confirmed by histopathology.At the oneyear follow-up,both patients had a good prognosis without local recurrence.CONCLUSION To date,NTKs located in the hallux and axilla have rarely been reported in the literature.We describe NTKs that occurred in unconventional areas and summarize the challenges in their diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
