Fibrolipoma of the median nerve: a case report and review of the literature

J Lowenstein et al. Am J Orthop (Belle Mead NJ). 2000 Oct.

Abstract

A 38 year-old patient presented with right median nerve distribution paresthesias. Electrodiagnostic studies confirmed severe carpal tunnel syndrome. A palmar mass prompted a magnetic resonance imaging scan, which suggested a fibrolipoma of the median nerve. Carpal tunnel release resulted in resolution of preoperative pain and paresthesias. We review the literature dealing with this primary nerve tumor.
