Traumatic neuromas, benign nerve tumors, can arise after surgery. Two neck cases highlight their occurrence post-melanoma treatment, necessitating excision to exclude cancer recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Neuropathology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Traumatic neuromas are benign tumors resulting from nerve injury.
  • They involve Schwann cells, axons, and connective tissue proliferation.
  • Neuromas can occur anywhere, affecting any nerve type after trauma.

Observation:

  • This study presents two cases of neck neuromas.
  • One neuroma formed after lymph node dissection for melanoma metastasis.
  • The second neuroma developed after wide excision of a cutaneous melanoma.

Findings:

  • Neuromas are common after major surgery but rare after minor skin tumor excisions.
  • In both presented cases, the neuroma's presence required surgical removal.
  • Excision was crucial to rule out potential melanoma recurrence.

Implications:

  • Neck neuromas can mimic melanoma recurrence, complicating patient management.
  • Surgical excision is vital for accurate diagnosis and to exclude malignancy.
  • Understanding neuroma formation is important for surgical planning and patient follow-up.
