Macrodactylia lipomatosa with fibrolipomatous hamartomas: macroscopic and ultrasound clues

Although representing congenital anomaly, fibrolipomatous hamartomas often present with uni- or multifocal peripheral nerve lesions in childhood, or at latest the third and fourth decade of adulthood owing to their slowly progressive growth and consecutive peripheral nerve compression (Silverman et al., 1985, Plaza et al., 2014). In this report, we present the clinical and ultrasound clues of an unusual presentation of a male patient with multifocal fibrolipomatous hamartomas of the left ulnar, median, musculocutaneous nerves and left brachial plexus together with macrodactylia lipomatosa.
