Abstract
|
|
|
|
Neuromas are hyperplasia of axons and associated nerve sheath cells. Cutaneous neuromas are rare. Neuromas can be classified into three types: traumatic neuromas, solitary palisaded encapsulated neuromas, and multiple mucosal neuromas. Traumatic neuromas are tangles of neural fibers and connective tissue that develop following nerve injury. These usually present as a solitary, skin colored or pinkish, slowly growing, palpable and painful firm papule or nodule. A 15-year-old female patient presented a solitary 1.0×0.5 cm sized, pinkish palpable well-demarcated firm subcutaneous nodule on the right third proximal interphalangeal joint. We herein report a case of traumatic neuroma which probably originated from the dorsal digital nerve.
