Neural tumors made of Pacinian corpuscles are rare benign findings. This study details three new cases of these unusual hyperplastic tumors presenting as painful digital masses.

Area of Science:

  • Neuropathology
  • Dermatopathology

Background:

  • Pacinian corpuscle tumors are exceptionally rare neural neoplasms.
  • Previous literature documents only a few benign cases of these lesions.

Observation:

  • This report describes three distinct cases of painful digital masses in middle-aged adults.
  • Histopathological examination revealed abnormal aggregates of mature Pacinian corpuscles and small nerves.

Findings:

  • The observed lesions represent a rare hyperplastic phenomenon involving Pacinian corpuscles.
  • Only five comparable cases have been previously documented in medical literature.

Implications:

  • Understanding the pathogenesis of these rare Pacinian corpuscle tumors is crucial.
