Fibrolipomatous hamartoma of the proximal ulnar nerve associated with macrodactyly and macrodystrophia lipomatosa as an unusual cause of cubital tunnel syndrome

The Course of Anterolateral Thigh Perforators Does Not Correlate between Sides of the Body: The Role for Preoperative Imaging

“…15 A characteristic feature is the serpentiform nerve fascicle appearance, surrounded by fibrofatty tissue within the nerve sheath. 16 On coronal images, a spaghetti-like appear- Volume 125, Number 3 • Viewpoints ance of the nerve is pathognomonic. 17,18 Electrophysiology is used to evaluate the functional compromise and gives a baseline if surgery is contemplated.…”

A case of macrodystrophia lipomatosa of 5th digit of hand with literature review

“…Malalignment of joint and repeated trauma can cause secondary osteoarthritis and compression of neurovascular structures 9 . Osteophyte overgrowth may also cause compression of adjacent nerves and vessels, most commonly seen is carpal tunnel syndrome .…”

Mr Imaging of Uncommon Recurrence of Fibrolipomatous Hamartoma of the Ulnar Nerve. A case report

“…Fibrolipomatous hamartoma (FLH) is a rare, tumorlike condition involving peripheral nerves (8). This lipomatous process also has been designated fibrofatty overgrowth of a nerve, fatty infiltration or fatty enlargement of a nerve, lipofibroma, lipomatous hamartoma, intraneural lipoma, and perineural lipoma (5, 8). Most cases of FLH arise in the median nerve (1–3, 8, 9), although involvement of the ulnar nerve (4, 5, 8), or other peripheral nerves (3, 4, 6, 8) may occur.…”

Fibrolipomatous hamartoma, although uncommon, has become important to recognize because it may cause a mass effect leading to neurologic complications (3, 5, 8), and it often relates to macrodystrophia lipomatosa and macrodactyly (1, 5, 8).…”
