Parietal peri-neural lipoma: a case report

Abstract

Background: Perineural lipoma, also known as fibro-fatty overgrowth, fibrolipomatous hamartoma, intraneural lipoma, and lipomatous hamartoma, is a rare, benign, congenital lesion most commonly found in the median nerve, usually at the level of the wrist or hand. To our knowledge, no published cases report a perineural lipoma arising from the intercostal nerve.
