OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to analyze the radiologic characteristics of lipofibromatous hamartomas affecting upper limb peripheral nerves.

CONCLUSION. Although there are pathognomonic features that characterize lipofibromatous hamartoma on MRI, the range of appearances is broad. Sonography appears to show equally characteristic features and may be a useful tool for assessing this condition.

Keywords: lipofibromatous hamartoma • MRI • soft-tissue neoplasms • sonography
