Traumatic or amputation neuromas are benign tumours formed by a proliferation of Schwann cells, axons and connective tissue elements. They are secondary to the partial or total section of a nerve pathway due to an accidental or surgical trauma. They can form at any site and affect any type of nerve. The presence of amputation neuromas is very frequent in major surgery but rare in simple excisions of skin tumours. We report two cases with neuroma localized in the neck, one after lymph node dissection for melanoma metastasis and the other after excision of a cutaneous melanoma with 3-cm margin on lateral neck. In both cases, the presence of the neuroma mandated a surgical excision to rule out a possible recurrence of melanoma.
创伤性或截肢性神经瘤是由施万细胞、轴突和结缔组织成分增生形成的良性肿瘤。它们继发于因意外或手术创伤导致的神经通路部分或完全切断。它们可在任何部位形成，影响任何类型的神经。截肢性神经瘤在大手术中很常见，但在皮肤肿瘤的单纯切除术中很少见。我们报告两例神经瘤位于颈部的病例，一例是在因黑色素瘤转移进行淋巴结清扫术后，另一例是在外侧颈部切除边缘为3厘米的皮肤黑色素瘤后。在这两例病例中，神经瘤的存在都需要进行手术切除以排除黑色素瘤可能的复发。
