Brown MD, FACS, Associate Professor and Chief, Section of Hand Surgery, Institute for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (1511), Southern Illinois University-School of Medicine, PO Box 19230, Springfield, Illinois 62702–9230, USA. We describe a congenital peripheral neuroepithelioma of the hand in an infant aged 6 weeks. This primitive malignant tumour of neuroepithelial origin is extremely rare in neonates. Peripheral neuroepitheliomas of the hand have not been described in the literature previously. Specific diagnosis and the current therapeutic approaches are discussed.
