AI Article Synopsis
- Biliary amputation neuroma is a rare condition that's hard to diagnose before surgery, often because its symptoms vary widely and many healthcare providers aren't familiar with it.
- A case is presented where the neuroma developed after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, leading to complications like bile leaks and recurrent cholangitis.
- The literature review highlights the causes, patient demographics, symptoms, and timing of diagnosis, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between benign and malignant biliary issues during assessments.
Article Abstract
Biliary amputation neuroma is rare and difficult to diagnose preoperatively due to diversity of clinical presentation and a lack of awareness among healthcare providers. We present a case of biliary neuroma arising from a recent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, complicated by bile leak and recurrent cholangitis. An extensive review of the literature was performed, closely examining related etiology, trends in age, clinical symptomology, and time to presentation. The role of surgery compared to an endoscopic approach in diagnosis has been reviewed. Physicians are urged to remain mindful of malignant biliary strictures as they may easily mimic and misguide the diagnosis of a traumatic biliary neuroma.

Article Synopsis
- Biliary amputation neuroma is a rare benign tumor that can occur after surgeries like cholecystectomy, causing challenges in distinguishing it from cholangiocarcinoma.
- A case involving a 64-year-old man showed a bile duct tumor discovered incidentally, leading to multiple biopsies that initially did not rule out cancer, but surgery revealed it to be a benign amputation neuroma.
- The findings highlight the importance of considering amputation neuromas in patients with prior bile duct surgeries and the usefulness of rapid intraoperative histological examination to prevent unnecessary extensive surgeries.

Background: This study analyzed all reported cases of painful traumatic neuromas to better understand their anatomic distribution, etiologies, and surgical treatment.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science were searched in October 2023 for articles describing painful traumatic neuromas.
Results: In total, 414 articles reporting 5,562 neuromas were included and categorized into head/neck, trunk, upper extremity, lower extremity, and autonomic nerves.

Traumatic neuroma (TN) is a disorganized proliferation of injured nerves arising from the axons and Schwann cells. Although TN rarely occurs in the abdominal cavity, the incidence of TN may be underestimated because of the large number of asymptomatic patients. TN can cause persistent pain, which seriously affects quality of life.
