Neurofibrolipoma of lower extremity: Report of a rare case

A lipoma is one of the commonest types of benign tumor and a neurolipoma is one of its rarer variants. It is also called as Neurofibrolipoma (NFL) or lipomatosis of nerve. It can occur in a person with neurofibromatosis. The most common sites of occurrence are the volar aspects of the hands, wrists, and forearms. These NFLs are observed in young people, usually men. The median nerve is most commonly involved. Lower-extremity cases are extremely rare. We report here a rare case involving the lower limb without any skeletal deformities occurring in a young man.
