CASTELEIRO ROCA, P.; MIDON MIGUEZ, J. e MARTELO VILLAR, F.. Lipomas and nerve compresion. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2010, vol.36, n.1, pp.49-56. ISSN 1989-2055.
Lipomas are the most frequent soft tissues tumours of the body, and they can be located everywhere. They are usually asymptomatic, but uncommonly they can produce nerve compression. Our objective is to review our experience in the treatment of nerve compression syndromes caused by lipomas. Lipomas must be suspected when an slow growth tumour is present with nerve compression syndrome. It's very important an appropriate surgical planning, supported by image (NMR), because nerves can be included in the lipoma.
