ABSTRACT
Pacinian neuroma, also known as hyperplasia and/or hypertrophy of pacinian corpuscles is a rare skin condition usually occurring in the hand. Although it is known to cause pain and tenderness on the affected skin, asymptomatic cases have also been reported. We report a 46-year-old male monk who presented with asymptomatic skin lesions of paler color than the adjacent normal skin on the tips of the fingers of both hands. The 3 mm punch biopsy conducted on the lesion showed an increased number of onion bulb-like structures with a nerve fiber in each center. The patient was diagnosed with pacinian neuroma and has been under regular follow up without treatment.
