Abstract

A neuroma is a benign tumor caused by irregular or disorganized regeneration of nerve tissue after nerve injury. It sometimes causes severe symptoms and thus deteriorates the quality of life. There are few reports of truncal neuromas and its surgical treatment with the outcome. The authors report a case of a surgically improved traumatic neuroma in a 77-year-old man presented with dysesthesia of the back skin medial to the left scapula.
