Pacinian neuroma

ABSTRACT

Neural tumors composed of Pacinian corpuscles are rare and have only occasionally been reported in the literature. All such lesions, which have been reported to date, have been benign. One such lesion described here presented as a painful lesion on the right hand in a 17-year-old Omani female. There was history of trap door injury 7 years back involving the wrist, thumb and index finger. The patient gradually developed multiple bosselated nodules near the first web space with gradually increasing pain. This case is being reported for the first time in the Sultanate of Oman. We herein report this case due to its rarity
