Abstract

Abstract: We reported a rare peripheral nerve case, a patient developed carpal tunnel syndrome with a history of floating thumb in right hand. The median nerve was found expanded and spindle-shaped and a plexiform neurofibroma was diagnosed. Our case sheds light on anatomy and possible etiological association which may help clinical management.
