Intraneural Lipoma: A Rare Cause of Median Nerve Compression

Intraneural lipomatous tumors are rare lesions that mostly affect the upper extremities. These slowly growing tumors can have a serious neurological and functional impact when they reach a significantly large size. We report herein a case of a 53-year-old female who presented with a large median nerve intraneural lipomatous tumor causing compression-related signs. She was treated with monoblock excision of the tumor that was completely residing between the median nerve fibers. At her last follow-up, no median nerve deficits were recorded, and the patient went to full resolution.
