Abstract

Lipofibromatous hamartoma (LFH) is a benign tumor that causes nerve enlargement due to fatty adipose tissue infiltration around bundles of peripheral nerves. It most commonly occurs at the median nerve with associated macrodactyly. We present an uncommon case of LFH that affected a digital branch of the median nerve without macrodactyly.
