Posterior interosseous nerve syndrome due to intramuscular lipoma

Abstract: Lipomas are extremely common benign soft tissue tumors that are usually subcutaneous and asymptomatic. However, an intramuscular lipoma, occurring adjacent to the proximal radius, may easily cause paralysis of the posterior interosseous nerve because of a specific anatomical relationship of these structures in that area. In this report, we describe an unusual case of a 48-year-old-woman with a posterior interosseous nerve syndrome due to an intramuscular lipoma. The patient had good recovery after surgery and … Show more

“…For the same reason, we think that the presence of large and complex multilobulated lipomas and residual tumor are poor prognostic factors. Furthermore, Allagui also highlighted that the application of postoperative rehabilitation contributed to the prognosis [31].…”

“…The intermuscular lipoma is a rare condition for adjacent peripheral nerve compression, but it has been known to affect the branches of the radial nerve (5). Allagui M et al (5) reported that an intermuscular lipoma led to the paralysis of the related muscles due to entrapment of branches of the radial nerve. Fletcher et al (6) found 83% of intermuscular lipomas were of the infiltrative type, and 17% were of the well-defined type.…”

“…Lipomas are most commonly extraneural, causing the compression of the peripheral nerve, although a few case reports of intraneural lipomas, including the PIN, have been described [ 5 - 6 ]. Extraneural lipomas are intramuscular [ 7 ], intermuscular [ 8 - 9 ], or parosteal [ 2 , 10 - 11 ]. Avram and Hynes have also reported a case series of the various PIN lipomas, in which the majority had parosteal origins [ 10 ].…”
