Neuralfibrolipoma at a rare site-a case report
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Neural fibrolipoma is a tumor like lipomatous process that involves principally the volar aspects of hands, wrists and forearms of young persons. It usually manifests as a soft yellow growing mass consisting of proliferating fibrofatty tissue surrounding and infiltrating major nerves and their branches. Median nerve is the most frequently involved nerve. Other less frequently involved nerves are ulnar, radial, branchial plexus, superficial peroneal nerve, inferior calcaneal nerve and medial planter nerve. An 18 year old male presented with swelling over right lateral gluteal region. Histopathological examination of the excised specimen showed features of neural fibrolipoma. To our knowledge no reported case of neural fibrolipoma at this site has been reported so far. We report a case ofneural fibrolipoma in lateral cutaneous branch of iliohypogastric nerve.
