Fibrolipomatous hamartoma of the nerve: A clinicopathologic report of 13 cases

Abstract

Fibrolipomatous hamartoma of the nerve is a rare benign condition of peripheral nerves that shows characteristic cutaneous changes. We describe 13 additional cases to expand our knowledge and to create awareness of this rarely reported condition.

Fibrolipomatous hamartoma can be associated with macrodactyly; thus, it should be considered with the cutaneous syndromes associated with macrodactyly.
