Fibrolipomatous hamartoma is a benign tumor mainly affecting peripheral nerves. It is characterized by abnormal growth of fibroadipose tissue within the nerve, leading to progressive compressive neuropathies. Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most frequent among them. Although it is considered an infrequent tumor, magnetic resonance imaging use has led to an increase in case reports. We present 3 clinical cases of fibrolipomatous hamartoma consulting due to soft tissue mass, which were diagnosed by ultrasound.
纤维脂肪性错构瘤是一种主要影响周围神经的良性肿瘤。其特征是神经内纤维脂肪组织异常生长,导致进行性压迫性神经病变。其中腕管综合征最为常见。尽管它被认为是一种罕见的肿瘤,但磁共振成像的应用导致病例报告有所增加。我们报告3例因软组织肿块就诊的纤维脂肪性错构瘤临床病例,这些病例通过超声诊断。
