A lipoma is a common, benign soft-tissue tumor that rarely arises in the upper limb. When one does occur in the hand, the location of the lipoma can cause nerve compression, which can mimic carpal tunnel symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging is the visualization modality of choice for diagnosis and surgical planning of lipomas. Surgical resection is recommended to relieve the neurological manifestations of this disease. The surgeon should always suspect liposarcoma first before voluminous, atypical, or recurrent tumors are considered.

“…Fibrolipoma of the median nerve represents only 2% of tumors of the soft tissue [14]. With MRI, it appears as a well-differentiated mass, with a sharp border and heterogeneous signal consisting of a mixed composition of fat and fibrosis.…”

“…Dans le groupe des tumeurs bénignes, le principal diagnostic différentiel est le fibrolipome du nerf médian, qui est une tumeur bénigne d'origine adipeuse, décrite pour la première fois en 1953, avec actuellement 100 cas publiés [14][15][16].…”

“…En l'absence de macrodactylie, il se manifeste par un syndrome du canal carpien, chez un adulte entre 40 et 50 ans. Mais souvent, le diagnostic de fibrolipome est le plus souvent une surprise opératoire [16]. À l'IRM, il se présente sous la forme d'une masse hétérogène, avec un signal mixte graisseux et fibreux : la graisse apparaît en hypersignal T1, tandis que la composante fibreuse est moins intense.…”
