Fibrolipoma of the median nerve: MRI.
The MRI findings of two patients with fibrolipoma of median nerve are presented. A characteristic 'cable-like' appearance of the tumour was present on T1-weighted images. Unique imaging features of these cases included extension of the lesion into the radial digital nerve of the index finger in case 1 and extraneuronal extension of a exophytic fatty mass from the median nerve into the thenar eminence in case 2.
