BACKGROUND: Lipofibromatous hamartoma is a rare benign slow growing tumor of peripheral nerves that is characterized by fibroadipose tissue infiltration of the epineurium and perineurium. It most commonly develops in the median nerve. The etymology remains unclear, but the tumor is largely considered congenital and most frequently affects young Caucasian males during childhood.
