Spinal Nerves: Plexus I

Spinal Nerves: Plexus I

Nerve plexuses are networks of interlacing nerves that serve as communication hubs to distribute and organize nerve action across various body regions. The nerve plexuses are organized into the cervical plexus located in the neck region, brachial plexus in the shoulder area, lumbar plexus found in the lower back, sacral plexus situated in the pelvis, and coccygeal plexus located in the coccygeal region.
The Cervical Plexus
The cervical plexus, formed by the anterior rami of the first four...

Spinal Nerves: Plexus II

Spinal Nerves: Plexus II

The plexuses of the lower body include the lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal plexuses, which innervate the abdomen, pelvis, legs, and coccygeal region. These plexuses control the transmission of sensory information and coordinate motor functions of the lower body.
The Lumbar Plexus
The lumbar plexus is situated within the lumbar region of the back and is primarily formed by the first four lumbar spinal nerves (L1 to L4). This plexus extends its branches into several nerves, including the...

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation

Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

Peripheral Nervous System: Ganglia and Nerves

Peripheral Nervous System: Ganglia and Nerves

The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) is a crucial component of the body's neural network, extending beyond the central nervous system (CNS) to bridge the gap between the CNS and the external environment. It encompasses nerves, ganglia, and sensory receptors.
Nerves
The nerve is a bundle of axons that serves as the communication highway in the PNS. Each nerve is ensheathed in a protective layer of connective tissue called the epineurium. This outermost layer safeguards the nerve and supports the...

Area of Science:

Neuropathology
Dermatology
Oncology

Background:

Neural tumors originating from Pacinian corpuscles are exceptionally rare in medical literature.
Previously reported Pacinian corpuscle tumors have exclusively been benign.

Purpose of the Study:

To report a rare case of a benign neural tumor of Pacinian corpuscles.
To document the first occurrence of this tumor type in the Sultanate of Oman.

Main Methods:

Clinical case presentation of a 17-year-old female with a painful hand lesion.
Review of relevant medical literature on Pacinian corpuscle tumors.

Main Results:

A 17-year-old Omani female presented with a painful, bosselated nodular lesion on her right hand.
The lesion developed gradually over years following a wrist and finger injury.
The tumor was composed of Pacinian corpuscles and confirmed as benign.

Conclusions:

This case represents a rare instance of a benign neural tumor of Pacinian corpuscles.
The presentation emphasizes the importance of considering rare soft tissue tumors in differential diagnoses, even after trauma.
This is the inaugural report of such a neural tumor in Oman.
