Rare case of Intraneural Lipoma of Digital Nerve

Abstract

Lipomas, although ubiquitous, are extremely uncommon in digital nerves. We present a 68-year-old male patient with right ring finger radial digital nerve intraneural lipoma. The tumor was enucleated preserving all the nerve fascicles. We present this case to highlight the rare occurrence of lipomas within a digital nerve.
