A Case Report on Parosteal Lipoma Stretching the Posterior Interosseous Nerve Without Causing Palsy

Lipomas are benign soft tissue tumors that can be either superficial or deep. Superficial lipomas are mostly asymptomatic whereas deep-seated lipomas can occasionally cause symptoms if they grow adjacent to neurovascular structures. In this report, we present a case of parosteal lipoma of the right proximal forearm in a 47-year-old male, which was initially diagnosed as intramuscular lipoma stretching posterior interosseous nerve (PIN), with no neurological complaints during both preoperative and postoperative periods.
