Carpal tunnel syndrome due to lipofibromatous hamartoma of the median nerve.
This report describes a rare case of secondary carpal tunnel syndrome due to a lipofibromatous hamartoma of the median nerve. Excision of the fibrofatty tissue between the nerve fascicles without risking damage to the fascicles was impossible. The transverse carpal ligament was incised and an epineurotomy was performed. Within six months, the 25-year-old female patient's symptoms were much impr...
متن کاملAberrant Radial Artery Causing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

An aberrant medial artery is the most common vascular variation, while an aberrant radial artery causing carpal tunnel syndrome is even more rare, with an incidence ranging less than 3%. This article reports a patient with compression of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel by an aberrant superficial branch of the radi...
متن کاملLipofibromatous hamartoma of the digital branches of the median nerve presenting as carpal tunnel syndrome: A rare case report with review of the literature.
Lipofibromatous hamartoma (LFH) is a rare, benign fibrofatty tumor composed of a proliferation of mature adipocytes within peripheral nerves, which form a palpable neurogenic mass. It affects the median nerve in 66-80% of cases, causing pain and sensory and motor deficits in the affected nerve distribution. Patients typically present with gradually enlarging nontender lesions in the distributio...
متن کاملLipofibromatous Hamartoma of the Median Nerve in Association with or without Macrodactyly.

It commonly affects the volar aspect of the hands, wrists and forearms of young adults. Most patients present either early with macrodactyly or later with a forearm mass lesion or symptoms consistent with compressive neuropathy of the involved nerve. The clinical and histomo...
