description Lipoma is a rare cause of ulnar nerve compression in Guyon's canal. All four previously reported cases from 2000 to 2009 have been accurately diagnosed on MRI.

We conclude that although MRI remains the best investigation for this condition, it is not always accurate and clinical findings still provide the best basis for surgical treatment.
