Neural Fibrolipoma
Neural fibrolipoma (pronunciation: /ˈnʊərəl ˌfaɪbroʊlɪˈpoʊmə/) is a rare benign tumor that involves the peripheral nerves. It is characterized by the overgrowth of fibro-fatty tissue along a nerve, usually the median nerve.
Etymology
The term "neural fibrolipoma" is derived from three words: "neural" (relating to a nerve or the nervous system), "fibro" (relating to fibrous tissue), and "lipoma" (a benign tumor of fatty tissue).
Symptoms
Neural fibrolipoma can cause a variety of symptoms, depending on the location and size of the tumor. These may include pain, numbness, and muscle weakness. In some cases, the tumor may be visible as a soft lump under the skin.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of neural fibrolipoma typically involves a physical examination and imaging tests, such as MRI or ultrasound. A biopsy may also be performed to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment
Treatment for neural fibrolipoma often involves surgery to remove the tumor. In some cases, physiotherapy may also be recommended to help manage symptoms.
