[PMID: 38017468 PMCID: PMC10683309 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-023-03049-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Traumatic neuroma (TN) is a disorganized proliferation of injured nerves arising from the axons and Schwann cells. Although TN rarely occurs in the abdominal cavity, the incidence of TN may be underestimated because of the large number of asymptomatic patients. TN can cause persistent pain, which seriously affects quality of life. TN of the biliary system can cause bile duct obstruction, leading to acute cholangitis. It is difficult to differentiate TN from malignancies or recurrence of malignancy, which results in a number of patients receiving aggressive treatment. We collected cases reports of intra-abdominal TN over the past 30 years form PubMed and cases diagnosed in our medical center over the past 20 years, which is the largest case series of intra-abdominal TN to the best of our knowledge. In this review, we discuss the epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, classification, diagnosis, and management of intra-abdominal TN.

Biliary tree traumatic neuroma following laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A case report and literature review. MEDICINE INTERNATIONAL 2023; 3:37.

Abstract
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been found to be associated with the development of traumatic neuromas on rare occasions. The present study reports a rare case of post-cholecystectomy biliary tree traumatic neuroma. Herein, a 47-year-old female with a history of laparoscopic cholecystectomy presented with upper abdominal pain and anorexia. Upon an examination, a yellow discoloration of the sclera was observed. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography revealed a dilated proximal bile duct and mild dilatation of the intrahepatic biliary tree due to a stricture. Intraoperatively, a hard bile duct mass was observed with multiple enlarged lymph nodes in the peri-hepatic region. The patient was initially suspected to have bile duct cancer; however, a histopathological analysis of the resected mass revealed a bile duct traumatic neuroma. Biliary traumatic neuromas may be underestimated since they often remain asymptomatic. It is unfortunate that, as traumatic neuromas often lack distinguishing characteristics, no particular radiological findings for traumatic neuromas of the bile duct have been described to date, at least to the best of our knowledge. The rarity of this condition, combined with the absence of a standardized diagnostic modality, renders its diagnosis difficult and can even lead to misdiagnosis as biliary cancer.

Abstract
Biliary amputation neuroma is rare and difficult to diagnose preoperatively due to diversity of clinical presentation and a lack of awareness among healthcare providers. We present a case of biliary neuroma arising from a recent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, complicated by bile leak and recurrent cholangitis. An extensive review of the literature was performed, closely examining related etiology, trends in age, clinical symptomology, and time to presentation. The role of surgery compared to an endoscopic approach in diagnosis has been reviewed. Physicians are urged to remain mindful of malignant biliary strictures as they may easily mimic and misguide the diagnosis of a traumatic biliary neuroma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traumatic neuromas result from nerve injury after trauma or surgery but rarely occur in the bile duct. However, it is challenging to diagnose traumatic neuromas correctly preoperatively. Although some previous reports have described the imaging features of traumatic neuroma in the bile duct, no features of traumatic neuromas in the bile duct have been identified by using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) imaging before.
CASE SUMMARY A 55-year-old male patient presented to our hospital with a 3-mo history of abdominal distension and anorexia and history of cholecystectomy 4 years ago. Grayscale ultrasound demonstrated mild to moderate intrahepatic bile duct dilatation. Meanwhile, a hyperechoic nodule was found in the upper extrahepatic bile duct. The lesion approximately 0.8 cm × 0.6 cm with a regular shape and clear margins. The nodule of the bile duct showed slight hyperenhancement in the arterial phase and isoenhancement in the venous phase on CEUS. Laboratory tests showed that alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were increased significantly, while the tumor marker carbohydrate antigen 19-9 was increased slightly. Then, hilar bile duct resection and end-to-end bile ductal anastomosis were performed. The histological examination revealed traumatic neuroma of the extrahepatic bile duct. The patient had an uneventful recovery after surgery.
CONCLUSION The current report will help enhance the current knowledge regarding identifying traumatic neuromas by CEUS imaging and review the related literature.

Abstract
Traumatic neuroma mostly results from nerve injury caused by surgery or trauma. Traumatic neuroma of the gallbladder without prior abdominal surgery is extremely rare, and we termed it “idiopathic traumatic neuroma of the gallbladder.” Due to its rarity and a lack of specific clinical and radiological features, it is most commonly misdiagnosed. In our case, the patient was admitted to our hospital for cholangiocarcinoma. Repeated abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans preoperatively indicated hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Due to insufficient future liver remnant, we planned preoperative percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage and percutaneous transhepatic portal vein embolization based on multidisciplinary team consultation. The patient was then admitted 1 month later for surgery. We performed a laparoscopic cholecystectomy and an extensive laparoscopic right hepatectomy as gallbladder carcinoma was strongly suspected intraoperatively. However, the final diagnosis was traumatic neuroma of the gallbladder confirmed by pathological examination. Traumatic neuroma of the gallbladder is very rare, and we hope to provide some references for diagnosis by reporting our case and reviewing the literature on this topic so that extensive treatment can be avoided, thus improving patients’ quality of life. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of traumatic neuroma without prior surgery in the English literature since 1996.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Traumatic neuromas in general, and trigeminal traumatic neuromas in particular, are relatively rare entities originating from a damage to a corresponding nerve or its branches. This manuscript is a comprehensive review of the literature on trigeminal traumatic neuromas based on an interesting and challenging case of bilateral intraoral lesions. RECENT FINDINGS The diagnosis for this patient was bilateral trigeminal traumatic neuromas. It is possible that these patients have a genetic predisposition to the development of these lesions. It is a neuropathic pain condition and may mimic dental and other trigeminal pain entities. Topical treatment with lidocaine gel, utilizing a custom-made neurosensory stent, rendered the patient significant and sustained pain relief. Trigeminal traumatic neuromas present a diagnostic challenge even to a seasoned clinician, due to the complex clinical features that may mimic other entities. Topical medications such as local anesthetics may be a good viable alternative to systemic medications to manage the pain associated with the condition. Early identification of the lesion and the associated pain helps in the succinct management of symptomatic trigeminal traumatic neuromas.

Traumatic neuroma of remnant cystic duct mimicking duodenal subepithelial tumor: A case report. World J Clin Cases 2020; 8:3821-3827. [PMID: 32953859 PMCID: PMC7479553 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v8.i17.3821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2020] [Revised: 06/22/2020] [Accepted: 08/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal subepithelial tumors (GSTs), incidentally detected during upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy, may be lesions derived from the GI wall or may be caused by compression from external organs. In general, traumatic neuroma is a benign nerve tumor that results from postoperative nerve injury, occurring in the bile duct as one of the complications after cholecystectomy. This is the first case report demonstrating that neuroma of the cystic duct can be incorrectly perceived as a duodenal subepithelial tumor by compressing the duodenal wall.
CASE SUMMARY We report the case of a 72-year-old man with traumatic neuroma of the cystic duct after cholecystectomy. This tumor was mistaken for a duodenal subepithelial tumor on preoperative upper GI endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography due to external compression of the GI wall. The patient had no symptoms, and his laboratory test results were normal. However, in a series of follow-up endoscopies, the tumor was found to have grown in size, so it was surgically resected. The lesion was completely removed by laparoscopic endoscopic cooperative surgery. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 7 without complications.
CONCLUSION Traumatic neuroma of the cystic duct can be mistaken for GSTs in GI endoscopy.
