Abstract
- Cutaneous neuromas are uncommon, and three true neuromas exist in the skin: palisaded encapsulated neuroma, multiple mucosal neuroma, and traumatic neuroma. Traumatic neuroma is usually a solitary, skin-colored or pink, firm papule or nodule at the site a of scar following local trauma. The patient was a 51-year-old female and presented with a solitary 1X2X1.5cm sized erythematous to brownish tender polypoid firm mass on the left shoulder for 24 years. Although she could not remember any history of trauma or surgery on the lesional area, this case could be considered as traumatic neuroma on the basis of both the clinical and characteristic histological features and by ruling out other types of neuroma.
