Hamza Madani*, Ahmed El Ghazzal, Naoufel Boutiyeb, Hicham Ait Benali and Mohammed Shimi
ABSTRACT
Lipomas of the finger are extremely uncommon, slow-growing benign tumors composed of fibrous adipose tissue, accounting for less than 5% of benign hand tumors. Neurolipoma, fibrolipoma or lipofiromatous Hamartoma is a lipomatous tumoral process involving peripheral nerves and their dividing branches, particularly in the hands and feet. We report a case of digital neurolipoma of the 3rd finger and discuss the clinical, epidemiological and management aspects of this rare tumor. These tumors represent a diagnostic challenge due to their rarity and neuronal involvement, This tumor has a predilection for the median nerve, but lesions of various nerves have been reported, notably the digital nerve. Finally, no definitive treatment is available for neurolipoma. Decompression and biopsy for final diagnosis is the current ideal management.
