Abstract

An adult man underwent arm amputation for a sarcoma. Pain and three masses observed radiologically prompted surgical exploration five years later. Microscopically, the masses represented amputation neuromas. One of them was located in the lumen of an artery, in a remote organized thrombus. Intravascular growth of an amputation neuroma has not been described previously.
