Nerve tumors of the clitoris and particularly neuromas are extremely rare.
A 27-year-old infibulated African woman suffering from chronic vulvar pain increasing with sexual intercourse presented for gynecologic care. Examination revealed a painful clitoral tumor. The tumor was surgically excised. The diagnosis of amputation neuroma of the clitoris was made by microscopic examination.
This is the first well-documented case of clitoral amputation neuroma occurring after female genital cutting. Considering the high number of genital cuttings practiced, these tumors are probably under-reported in the literature.
阴蒂神经肿瘤，尤其是神经瘤极为罕见。
一名27岁的非洲闭锁性女性，患有慢性外阴疼痛，性交时疼痛加剧，前来寻求妇科治疗。检查发现阴蒂有一个疼痛性肿瘤。该肿瘤经手术切除。通过显微镜检查确诊为阴蒂截肢性神经瘤。
这是第一例有充分记录的女性生殖器切割术后发生阴蒂截肢性神经瘤的病例。鉴于实施女性生殖器切割的人数众多，这些肿瘤在文献中可能报道不足。
