A rare cause of carpal tunnel syndrome: intraneural lipofibroma of median nerve
We determined fusiform expansion of the median nerve by a mass in a patient who admitted to our clinic with the complaints of swelling in the wrist, weakness of the fingers, and aggravating pain and tingling sensation at night. Surgical decompression revealed a fusiform expansion of the median nerve...
