    Abstract:
    Neurothekeoma is a rare, benign, and asymptomatic tumor of the skin. Most tumors are located on the head, shoulders, and arms. It is classified as a nerve sheath tumor and epidemiologically occurs in young adults. It is rare to find this tumor in children. This report describes a case of neurothekeoma in a 10-years-old boy at an uncommon site: the sacrococcygeal region. Being an uncommon entity, it is reported with a brief review of the relevant literature.
