Pacinian Neuroma Presenting as Congenital Macrodactyly: A Rare Case Report.
Pacinian neuromas are rare benign tumours of pacinian corpuscles of the digits. They generally occur on the volar aspect of the fingertips. Pacinian corpuscles are specialised nerve endings with a lamellated structure and are regarded as pressure and vibration receptors. Here, we report a case of pacinian neuroma presenting as congenital macrodactyly of the right little finger with pain for which the lesion was surgically excised.
