Abstract
- We herein describe the case of a 34-year-old woman who presented with a painful, movable, subcutaneous nodule on the volar surface of her left fourth finger. She complained of lancinating pain when slight pressure was applied to the nodule. An excisional biopsy specimen revealed a contiguous, fusiform, nodular mass, measuring 0.2x0.5 cm, in the subcutaneous tissue. Histopathologic examination showed several well-circumscribed nodules in a plexiform pattern, composed of large polygonal cells with abundant eosinophilic granular cytoplasm. These cells were strongly positive for S-100 protein. We diagnosed this case as plexiform granular cell tumor.
