Lipomatosis of nerve is a rare benign tumor-like process characterized by infiltration of the epineurium by adipose and fibrous tissue leading to nerve enlargement. We describe a case of lipomatosis of the sciatic nerve compressed by an adjacent desmoid tumor. This case supports the hypothesis that lipomatosis of nerve may form as a result of irritation or compression by adjacent structures.
神经脂肪瘤病是一种罕见的良性肿瘤样病变，其特征为脂肪和纤维组织浸润神经外膜，导致神经增粗。我们描述了一例坐骨神经脂肪瘤病的病例，该病例由相邻的硬纤维瘤压迫所致。该病例支持这样一种假说，即神经脂肪瘤病可能是由于相邻结构的刺激或压迫而形成的。
