    Area of Science:

    • Dermatopathology
    • Histology
    • Soft Tissue Tumors

    Background:

    • Pacinian corpuscles are mechanoreceptors normally found in the skin and subcutaneous tissues.
    • Abnormal proliferation of Pacinian corpuscles can lead to the formation of nodular lesions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a case of a tender finger nodule histologically identified as mature and immature Pacinian corpuscles.
    • To contribute to the understanding of Pacinian corpuscle-related soft tissue lesions.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical presentation of a tender greyish-white nodule on the index finger of a 40-year-old woman.
    • Histologic examination of the nodule.

    Main Results:

    • Histopathology revealed the presence of both mature and immature Pacinian corpuscles within the nodule.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The nodule was characterized as a proliferation of these specialized nerve endings.

    • Conclusions:

    • The findings suggest a rare instance of Pacinian corpuscle hyperplasia presenting as a tender digital nodule.
    • This case underscores the importance of histological evaluation for accurate diagnosis of soft tissue lesions.
