Traumatic neuromas are tumors resulting from hyperplasia of axons and nerve sheath
cells after section or injury to the nervous tissue1. 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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
