Abstract |
Lipofibromatous hamartoma is a very uncommon, benign tumor that involves diffuse infiltration of peripheral nerves by normal-appearing fibrous and adipose tissues. We repost a rare case of secondary carpal tunnel syndrome due to a lipofibromatous hamartoma of the median nerve with preoperative and postoperative magnetic resonance images. |
