NEUROMA

Course overview

A NEUROMA IS A BENIGN TUMOR OF NERVE TISSUE THAT IS OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH PAIN OR IN SPECIFIC TYPES OF VARIOUS OTHER SYMPTOMS. NEUROMAS MOST COMMONLY ARISE FROM NON-NEURONAL NERVOUS TISSUE AFTER AMPUTATION OR TRAUMA, OR THEY CAN BE TRUE NEOPLASMS. IT IS OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF THIS ARTICLE TO DISCUSS ALL NERVE-RELATED TUMORS AND SYNDROMES; THEY WILL BE MENTIONED ONLY AT CLASSIFICATION (ETIOLOGY SECTION). THIS ARTICLE WILL FOCUS ON TRAUMATIC NEUROMAS.
