Traumatic neuroma is a well-known disorder involving peripheral nerves, which occurs following trauma or surgery.
The lesion develops most commonly in the soft tissues of the mental foramen area, lower lip and tongue. Intraosseous
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.
