AI Article Synopsis
- - Traumatic neuromas are tumors that occur from the abnormal growth of nerve fibers and supporting cells following nerve injury or cut.
- - The case presented involves a male patient who developed this tumor after circumcision, confirmed through a detailed pathological examination.
- - Understanding traumatic neuromas is crucial for distinguishing them from other genital conditions like condyloma acuminata and pearly penile papules.
Article Abstract
Traumatic neuromas are tumors resulting from hyperplasia of axons and nerve sheath cells after section or injury to the nervous tissue. We present a case of this tumor, confirmed by anatomopathological examination, in a male patient with history of circumcision. Knowledge of this entity is very important in achieving the differential diagnosis with other lesions that affect the genital area such as condyloma acuminata, bowenoid papulosis, lichen nitidus, sebaceous gland hyperplasia, achrochordon and pearly penile papules.
