Key Points

To present a rare case of lipofibromatous hamartoma affecting the median nerve with unique clinical features.
Case report of a 53-year-old woman with a painful mass in the left distal forearm.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) used to identify lesion characteristics.
Histopathologic examination confirmed diagnosis of LFH post-surgery.
Patient exhibited a 3 cm lobulated lesion on MRI, consistent with LFH.
Post-operative follow-up for 11 weeks showed preserved sensory function with reduced wrist ROM.
Two prior surgical excisions at ages 18 and 25 highlight management challenges.
