title: A pediatric case of multiple palisaded encapsulated neuromas of the palms and soles.
abstract: Palisaded encapsulated neuroma (PEN) usually presents as a solitary, skin-colored papule on the face in middle-aged adults. We present a rare pediatric case of multiple PEN of the palms and soles. DNA analysis of the RET proto-oncogene in our patient showed no mutations in exons 13, 15, and 16.
