Abstract:
Fibrolipomatous hamartomas (FLHs) are rare pathologies almost exclusively involving the median nerve. Rarer is extra-median involvement of FLH, especially in nerves outside of the upper extremity. In this case report, we detail the case of a 48-year-old male with FLH involving his right tibial nerve-the first in reported literature in this nerve distribution to our knowledge- and perform a review of the existing case reports on extra-median FLH within the English-based literature.
