Abstract
Abstract Introduction neuromas are lesions resulting from abnormal nerve regeneration following a peripheral nerve injury and may cause severe pain. Method we present a case of a 54-year-old female who developed a painful cutaneous lesion over the first web-space of the hand following an untreated glass laceration 3 years previously. Results surgical resection revealed a 100% transection of ulnar digital nerve (UDN) of thumb with regeneration into the skin. A posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) nerve graft was required to bridge the resulting 15mm gap. Histopathology revealed a 12x12mm neuroma extending into dermis. Conclusions cutaneous neuroma is a rare consequence of penetrating trauma. This case highlights the need for prompt assessment of penetrating injuries to reduce risk of neuroma formation.
