Abstract :
Fibrolipomatous hamartoma of nerve (neural fibrolipoma) is a tumor-like lipomatous process principally involving young persons. The median nerve is most commonly affected. The lesion is characterized by a soft slowly growing mass surrounding and infiltrating major nerves and their branches. It may cause symptoms of compression neuropathy and is associated with macrodactyly in one third of cases. Here, we present a case of neural fibrolipoma in the ankle region and dorsum of foot ofa young man arising from superficial peroneal nerve.
