Entrapment syndromes in the hand are very common and usually idiopathic. However, it can be the expression of nerve compression by a nearby structure or tumor. Space-occupying lesions are widely reported as a cause of median or ulnar nerve compression in the wrist. Nevertheless, a simultaneous compression of the median and ulnar nerves by a tumor is a rare condition. To the best of our knowledge, only three cases are described in the English literature. Herein, we present a case of a simultaneous compression in the wrist of the median and ulnar nerves by lipoma in a 79-year-old patient while also elucidating the reasons for the rarity of this condition and reviewing its clinical and therapeutic particularities.
手部卡压综合征非常常见，通常为特发性。然而，它也可能是附近结构或肿瘤压迫神经的表现。占位性病变被广泛报道为腕部正中神经或尺神经受压的原因。然而，肿瘤同时压迫正中神经和尺神经的情况较为罕见。据我们所知，英文文献中仅描述了三例。在此，我们报告一例79岁患者因脂肪瘤同时压迫腕部正中神经和尺神经的病例，并阐明这种情况罕见的原因，同时回顾其临床和治疗特点。
