Abstract

Intraneural lipomas and lipofibromas are rare, benign median nerve tumours. We report a 62-year-old woman with carpal tunnel syndrome owing to an intraneural lipoma. MRI is the reference standard investigation for diagnosis, directing treatment towards operative or non-operative management.

Keywords: Intraneural; lipomas; median nerve.
