Neuroma of the vulva is a rare pathologic condition. Only 2 case reports on it exist.
We report the first case of traumatic neuroma of the episiotomy site in the English-language literature in a patient who presented with superficial dyspareunia. The neuroma was successfully managed by excison.
It is questionable whether the paucity of cases in the medical literature is due to true rarity, underreporting or underdiagnosis. It is therefore extremely important to address the extent of the problem in vulvar pain syndromes by including this condition in the differential diagnosis.
外阴神经瘤是一种罕见的病理状况。关于它仅有2例病例报告。
我们报告了英语文献中首例会阴切开部位创伤性神经瘤病例,该患者表现为浅表性交困难。通过切除成功治疗了该神经瘤。
医学文献中病例稀少是由于真正罕见、报告不足还是诊断不足尚存在疑问。因此,通过将这种情况纳入鉴别诊断来明确外阴疼痛综合征问题的严重程度极为重要。
