Intraneural Lipoma of the Median Nerve at the Forearm Causing Median Neuropathy: A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery & Surgical Techniques - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Intraneural lipomas are fat tumors of peripheral nerve and their branches. They are presented either as asymptomatic regional swelling or as lesions causing compressive neuropathy, especially when developed in locations with limited potential of expansion, e.g. the carpal tunnel. The median nerve is the most affected nerve and the wrist and the hand the most common sites related to median neuropathy. We present a case of a 72 years old woman with an intraneural lipoma of median nerve at the forearm with symptoms of median neuropathy, which is a rather unusual site of nerve compression.
