Traumatic Neuroma of the Gallbladder ― Report of a Case

A case of traumatic neuroma of the gallbladder is reported. Most of traumatic neuromas of the biliary system arise at the cystic duct stump after cholecystectomy. Review of the English literature disclosed only one case of traumatic neuroma of the gallbladder. The reported case had a history of unsuccessful cholecystectomy performed twenty years previously. In our case, in contrast, traumatic neuroma developed without a history of previous operation. Prolonged presence of cholecystoduodenal fistula was suspected as an etiological factor.
