Lipomatosis of nerves (LN) involves benign fibro-fatty infiltration and is often associated with territorial overgrowth of soft tissue and bone; this distinctive disease pattern can be visualized on plain radiographs. We recently discovered a case (presented by Sir Robert Jones in 1898 to the Pathological Society of London) that indirectly represents a historical landmark in the imaging of peripheral nerves. The clinical findings and image, with obvious soft tissue and bone overgrowth, are pathognomonic for LN, making this one of the earliest radiological observations of a peripheral nerve lesion.
神经脂肪过多症（LN）涉及良性纤维脂肪浸润，常伴有软组织和骨骼的局部过度生长；这种独特的疾病模式在普通X线片上可见。我们最近发现了一个病例（由罗伯特·琼斯爵士于1898年提交给伦敦病理学会），它间接代表了周围神经成像的一个历史里程碑。临床发现和影像显示有明显的软组织和骨骼过度生长，这是LN的特征性表现，使其成为最早对外周神经病变进行的放射学观察之一。
