Abstract
|
|
|
|
Although lipomas are benign fatty tumors that are common in humans, lipomas causing compressive neuropathy are rare. Furthermore, compressive neuropathy of the median nerve in the distal forearm just proximal to the carpal tunnel has never been reported. We report a very rare case of symptomatic lipoma causing median neuropathy in the distal forearm, associated with bilateral carpal tunnel syndromes.
