Lipofibromatous hamartoma is an uncommon tumor that causes nerve enlargement due to fatty adipose tissue infiltration in peripheral nerves being the median nerve at the carpal tunnel the most commonly affected site, typically associated with macrodactyly. Here we present a case which affected a digital branch of the median nerve

This case report presents a lipofibromatous hamartoma of the median nerve in a 31-year-old man who presents local deformity and a sensory deficit in the nerve territory. The tumor was evaluated with magnetic resonance, computed tomography, and plain film radiography, studying the pathognomonic findings of this tumor. The patient did not want surgical treatment because of prior surgical sequelae. A prior surgical biopsy was reported as a peripheral nerve with normal axonal fascicles surrounded by abundant fibroadipose tissue. This tumor has a low incidence with less than 180 cases reported in the literature.
