[[File:569 dp sl 2.png| Palisading/encapcuslated neuroma]]<br>
Palisading/encapsulated (Reed’s) neuroma. A. A dermal nodule shows an attenuated capsule (black arrows) about a fasciculated spindle cell lesion with artefactual clefts (green arrows). B. The bland spindled nuclei, amid clear cytoplasm with thin eosinophilic wisps, are often wavy (black arrows), with pointed ends (green arrows); leiomyomas have blunt ended nuclei and more eosinophilic cytoplasm.  These benign neoplasms, unlike neurofibromas, lack an association with neurofibromatosis.
