A rare digital Pacinian corpuscle neuroma caused bone erosion in a patient's finger. This case highlights the importance of recognizing this uncommon hand tumor and its potential skeletal impact.

Area of Science:

  • Hand Surgery
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Pacinian corpuscle neuromas are rare, benign nerve sheath tumors.
  • These tumors can occur in various locations, including the digits.
  • Erosive changes in bone are an uncommon presentation of these tumors.

Observation:

  • A case of digital Pacinian corpuscle neuroma is presented.
  • The tumor was associated with significant erosive changes in the adjacent proximal phalanx.
  • Radiographic and pathological findings are detailed.

Findings:

  • The digital Pacinian corpuscle neuroma demonstrated aggressive local behavior.
  • The tumor induced osteolytic lesions in the proximal phalanx.
  • Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis and characterized the tumor's features.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for Pacinian corpuscle neuromas to cause bone destruction.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical management are crucial for limb salvage.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis of bone erosion by these tumors is warranted.
