Abstract
Abstract Traumatic neuroma represents reactive hyperplasia of irregularly positioned Schwann neurofibril cells and connective tissue - stroma that develop as a result of unsuccessful attempts to regenerate peripheral nerve after injury. This paper presents the case of a patient with painless traumatic neuroma of the lower lip formed in the same place where he previously had surgically removed salivary cyst of minor salivary gland - mucocele. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of traumatic neuroma.
