title: Pacinian neuroma in adipose herniation of the buccal mucosa.
abstract: An interesting case of a trauma-induced tender mass of the buccal mucosa in a 45-year-old man was presented. Following surgery, the patient was relieved from pain. Microscopically, the mature adipose tissue is unique in that it contained a single enlarged Pacinian corpuscle near the deep margin. This is the hitherto undescribed intraoral lesion of Pacinian neuroma in the herniated buccal fat pad.
