Abstract
Pacinian neuroma is an extremely rare benign tumor which has only occasionally been reported in the literature. To date, this lesion has usually been observed in the hand and foot; only one had intra-abdominal localization. Local trauma is reported in the most of these cases. We describe the first case of retroperitoneal pacinian neuroma. The lesion was observed as an incidental finding in a 75-year-old man who underwent laparotomy for aortic aneurysm. Here are discussed the differential diagnosis and a complete literature review on the topic.
