Area of Science:

  • Dermatopathology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Pacinian neurofibromas are rare, benign nerve sheath tumors.
  • These neoplasms originate from Pacinian corpuscles, specialized mechanoreceptors.
  • Understanding their histopathological features is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A 49-year-old female presented with a mass on her right middle finger.
  • Clinical examination suggested a possible soft tissue tumor.
  • The lesion was surgically excised for definitive diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Microscopic examination revealed a well-circumscribed tumor.
  • The neoplasm was composed of spindle cells with characteristic features of Pacinian neurofibroma.
  • Immunohistochemical analysis supported the diagnosis.
