Use of Ultra-high-frequency Ultrasound on Diagnosis and Management of Lipofibromatous Hamartoma: A Technical Report

Lipofibromatous hamartoma (LFH) is a rare, benign tumor found in the peripheral nerves which is challenging to diagnose. We present a case report of the use of ultra-high-frequency ultrasound (UHFUS) on a patient with an LFH to provide valuable information not available on other imaging modalities regarding tumor invasion of the nerve fascicles.
