Description
Mohamed Abdelsattar Ali and colleagues report, in 2026, a painful nerve growth that followed a routine skin punch biopsy on the forearm. The medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve supplies feeling to the inner forearm and elbow, and injury to it, though uncommon, can leave a tender neuroma.
The case describes how the neuroma was recognised after the biopsy, how it was managed surgically, and how the patient fared. The authors stress anatomical awareness during even minor skin procedures and careful review when patients report altered sensation afterwards. Hand and skin surgeons gain a reminder that a four-millimetre biopsy can still cross a named sensory nerve with lasting consequences.
