Poster Topic: Tumours Abstract number: 26340 INTRANEURAL LIPOFIBROMA OF THE MEDIAN NERVE A RARE CAUSE OF CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME Tarun SURI, Anil DHAL, Sumit SURAL Maulana Azad Medical College, Lok Nayak Hospital, New Delhi, India, New delhi (INDIA) Median nerve compression in the carpal tunnel is mostly idiopathic and a cause of significant disability. Other common causes are Colles fracture, ganglions and lipoma. We present the case of a 40 year old male who developed symptoms of fatigue and paraesthesias after prolonged writing. A clinical diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome was made. MRI of the wrist showed diffuse lipomatous proliferation of the median nerve suggestive of hamartoma. Intra-operatively, marked thickening of the nerve was seen. Nerve sheath biopsy was taken and decompression of the canal done. Patient had relief of symptoms post-operatively. 660

A 58 year-old woman was referred to us with pain and big mass in the posteromedial<br />
area of her right thigh. Radiological and anatomopathologic findings showed a<br />
leiomyosarcoma.A wide resection, reconstruction of cutaneous defect and<br />
oncological therapy was the treatment of choice with local and systemic control of the<br />
disease.Leiomyosarcoma is a malignant tumour composed of cells showing distinct<br />
smooth muscle features.It occurs most frequently in the uterus, bowel, vascular<br />
tissues, and less commonly in somatic soft tissue or bone.The most important<br />
prognostic factors by far are tumour location and size, which are strongly<br />
interrelated.In conclusion, the management of leiomyosarcoma clearly should involve<br />
a multidisciplinary approach requiring the consideration of surgery, radiation and<br />
even chemotherapy to have the best outcomes.<br />
