Abstract

Devineni B. C, Satbir Singh

We present a case of fibrolipomatous hamartoma of the median nerve. The patient is a 17-year-old female with painless swelling of the mid-palm for 1 month. The involved sites included the left palm, wrist and forearm. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a typical fibrolipomatous hamartoma with high signal intensity of fat on both T1-weighted and T2-weighted images, characteristic coaxial cable appearance on axial images, and spaghetti appearance on sagittal images.
