Post-cone biopsy traumatic neuroma of the uterine cervix

Arch Pathol Lab Med. 1989 Aug;113(8):945-7.

Abstract

Traumatic neuroma rarely occurs in the female genital tract and is probably the rarest complication of cone biopsy. A traumatic neuroma of the cervix found incidentally in the hysterectomy specimen of a 40-year-old woman who had previous conization for cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 is presented. Significance of the finding is described.
