English abstract Neurothekeomas are rare, benign dermal tumors of presumed fibrohistiocytic lineage. They present multiple differential diagnoses, making their identification challenging at the dermatological and anatomopathological examination. We report the case of a 28-year-old man who presented a hardened papule growth on the left upper eyelid with histopathology and immunohistochemistry suggestive of neurothekeoma
