Nervous lipofibromatous hamartoma is a rare tumor-like condition involving the peripheral nerves, whereby the epineurium and perineurium are enlarged and distorted by excess of fatty and fibrous tissues that infiltrate between and around nerve boundaries. The median nerve is much more likely to develop a hamartoma than other nerves with a predilection for the carpal tunnel. We present a case of carpal tunnel syndrome in an adult caused by fibrolipomatous hamartoma of the median nerve, successfully removed by excision of the fibrolipomatous tissue and decompression.

“…Dissection and microsurgical excision is usually reserved for those cases with progressive and disabling median nerve compromise despite previous carpal tunnel release. However, this technique can result in permanent loss of motor and sensory function and has only had modest success rates reported [2,15,22].…”

“…Fibrolipomatous hamartoma of the nerve is a rare lesion arising more frequently in the median nerve [1][2][3]. It is a very uncommon entity that was initially described by Masson in 1953 [4], as an anomalous growth of the fibroadipose tissue of the nerve sheath.…”

“…Whereas some authors have reported that excision of the involved nerve did not lead to apparent detriment to sensibility 27 , others have reported neural deficit 28 .Therefore, excision of the nerve is not recommended. Extensive intraneural dissection may lead to neurologic deficit caused by ischemic complications 29 .…”
