Traumatic neuroma follows different forms of nerve injury (often as a result of surgery). They occur at the end of injured nerve fibres as a form of ineffective, unregulated nerve regeneration; it occurs most commonly near a scar, either superficially (skin, subcutaneous fat) or deep (e.g., after a cholecystectomy). They are often very painful.
Swelling in the extremities (arms or legs), also called peripheral edema; the swelling often is painless. Difficulty in moving the extremity that has the tumor, including a limp. Soreness localized to the area of the tumor or in the extremity. Neurological symptoms. [3] Pain or discomfort: numbness, burning, or "pins and needles". [3]
The Acoustic Neuroma Association recommends that cell phone users use a hands-free device. Meningiomas are significantly more common in women than in men; they are most common in middle-aged women. Two predisposing factors associated with meningiomas for which at least some evidence exists are exposure to ionizing radiation (cancer treatment of ...
Sensory loss, scarring and neuroma formation can cause morbidity to the donor site of the patient the nerve is harvested from. Therefore, alloplastic nerve graft research is being conducted for nerve repair. Silicone has been used previously, but long-term use of tubes produces compression and decreased conduction, requiring surgery to remove ...
However, a ganglioneuroma may become cancerous and spread to other areas, or it may regrow after removal. [ citation needed ] If the tumor has been present for a long time and has pressed on the spinal cord or caused other symptoms, it may have caused irreversible damage that cannot be corrected with the surgical removal of the tumor.
Swelling: Some individuals may experience slight swelling (edema) in the lower legs alongside the rash. This swelling is typically mild and localized to the affected areas. [3] [2] Burning sensation: A burning or stinging sensation in the affected skin is commonly reported. This discomfort can range from mild to moderate in intensity. [3] [6]
A seroma is usually caused by surgery. Seromas are particularly common after breast surgery [3] (e.g., mastectomy), [4] abdominal surgery, and reconstructive surgery. It can also be seen after neck surgery, [1] thyroid and parathyroid surgery, [5] and hernia repair. [2] The larger the surgical intervention, the more likely that seromas form.
Lymphadenopathy or adenopathy is a disease of the lymph nodes, in which they are abnormal in size or consistency.Lymphadenopathy of an inflammatory type (the most common type) is lymphadenitis, [1] producing swollen or enlarged lymph nodes.
