Decompression and collagen wrapping of a fibrolipomatous hamartoma of the median nerve: a new approach for a rare and difficult problem

Fibrolipomatous hamartoma is a rare benign slow growing fibrofatty tumor of peripheral nerves of unknown etiology. Clinical presentation may mimic carpal tunnel syndrome when involving the median nerve. We present a case of FLH of the median nerve in a 59-year-old female treated with decompression and collagen nerve wrapping.
