Radiological diagnosis of median nerve lipoma: A case report from Palestine

Lipomas are benign neoplasms that develop from adipocyte-rich adipose tissue. They affect up to 2% of the population and make up about 50% of all soft-tissue neoplasms. The most common locations for them to appear asymptomatically are the neck, upper back, proximal limbs, and chest. They typically s...

description Lipomas are benign neoplasms that develop from adipocyte-rich adipose tissue. They affect up to 2% of the population and make up about 50% of all soft-tissue neoplasms. The most common locations for them to appear asymptomatically are the neck, upper back, proximal limbs, and chest. They typically start off as single, distinct, movable lumps. A 50-year-old man who had pain and edema in his right wrist came to our hospital. The patient's history dates back to 9 years ago, when he first began to complain of swelling in his wrist rest but no discomfort. According to a clinical examination, he has a soft, non-painful bump in his right wrist. After being monitored for 9 years with no change in the size of the tumor on his right wrist, the patient started to experience right hand pain and a weak right grasp. Magnetic resonance imaging is the preferred visualization method for examining hand tumors; it is advised to perform a preoperative complementary ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging investigation in cases of atypical findings or nonfrequent locations of nerve compression, which are clinically interpreted as idiopathic compression.
