Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Nerve tumors of the clitoris and particularly neuromas are extremely rare.
CASE: A 27-year-old infibulated African woman suffering from chronic vulvar pain increasing with sexual intercourse presented for gynecologic care. Examination revealed a painful clitoral tumor. The tumor was surgically excised. The diagnosis of amputation neuroma of the clitoris was made by microscopic examination.
CONCLUSION: This is the first well-documented case of clitoral amputation neuroma occurring after female genital cutting. Considering the high number of genital cuttings practiced, these tumors are probably under-reported in the literature.
