[Lipoma as a rare cause of nerve compression syndrome in the hand and forearm]

We report on three patients who were operated on peripheral nerve compression syndromes in the hand and forearm caused by a lipoma. After surgical removal of the lipoma, distinct improvement or even recovery of symptoms was observed.
