Pacinian corpuscle hyperplasia, a rare condition causing hand pain, often follows trauma. This study proposes diagnostic criteria, suggesting it as a differential diagnosis for digital and palmar pain.

Area of Science:

  • Hand surgery
  • Nerve pathology
  • Histopathology

Background:

  • Proliferation of pacinian corpuscles near digital nerves is exceptionally rare.
  • Patients typically present with a history of trauma and severe localized pain.

Observation:

  • Review of previously reported cases and histological criteria from the current case are used to define this condition.
  • The study proposes histological criteria to formally define pacinian corpuscle hyperplasia.

Findings:

  • Pacinian corpuscle hyperplasia is a rare cause of digital and palmar pain.
  • Histological confirmation is key to diagnosing this condition.

Implications:

  • Pacinian corpuscle hyperplasia should be included in the differential diagnosis for digital and palmar pain.

  • Consideration of this rare condition can aid in accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning for patients with persistent hand pain.
