Abstract

Traumatic neuromas are considered pseudotumors caused due to reactive proliferation of the neural tissue. Due to trauma of the nerve, a process of degeneration at the distal end and regeneration at the proximal end occurs. Histopathological examination is essential for making a diagnosis of traumatic neuroma along with clinical and radiological correlation.
