This condition, most common in middle-aged women, is characterized microscopically by neural tissue patterns, stroma, inammatory inltration, and vascularity. A 33-year-old male presented with a 10-d Case presentation: ay history of swelling on the left forearm without trauma or surgical history. Examination revealed a rm, non-adherent 2 x 2 cm swelling. Initial imaging suggested various diagnoses. The lesion was excised, and histopathology conrmed a traumatic neuroma with mature ganglion cells. The patient remained symptomfree for one year post-surgery. Traumatic neuroma should be considered in differential diagnoses of Conclusion: forearm swellings, even without clear trauma history. Surgery is effective, but further research into non-surgical treatments and recurrence prevention is needed to enhance management and outcomes.
