Traumatic neuroma is a well-known disorder involving peripheral nerves, which occurs following trauma or sur
-
gery. The lesion develops most commonly in the soft tissues of the mental foramen area, lower lip and tongue. Intra-
osseous lesions arising in jawbones are very uncommon. In this paper, we report a new case of an intra-osseous
traumatic neuroma, discovered incidentally on a panoramic radiograph obtained for orthodontic documentation.
In addition, the case herein described developed spontaneous remission, a situation not previously reported in the
literature. Finally, we discuss relevant demographic, clinical, microscopic, immunohistochemical and treatment
aspects of traumatic neuromas.
