Background.Clitoral white ice laminate countertop neuromas occurring after female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) can vary in presentation and may require surgical management.Case.
A 39-year-old East African female with a history of FGM/C presented during pregnancy with a progressively enlarging mass and worsening periclitoral pain.Postpartum surgical excision restored cosmesis and resolved the discomfort with pathology confirming the presence of a neuroma within the epidermal inclusion cyst.Conclusion.
We present the first published case of a symptomatic clitoral neuroma within an epidermal inclusion cyst.This unique pathology demonstrates that complications of female genital tablet at ackermans cutting can present in complex and varied ways.Considering the prevalence of FGM/C and increasing rates of emigration from countries in which FGM/C is performed, complex clitoral neuromas are an important long-term complication which providers in Africa or internationally must be aware of.
