Lipomatosis of nerve, earlier known as fibrolipomatous hamartoma is a rare condition which predominantly affects peripheral nerves, cranial nerve involvement being extremely uncommon. Preoperative consideration of this entity is of paramount importance as its inadvertent complete surgical resection may inevitably result in significant neurological deficit. We report a case of trigeminal lipomatosis in a young patient with trigeminal neuralgia.

Article Synopsis
- * A study of 20 cases found significant radiological features, such as thickened fat in the cheeks and palate, with notable changes primarily in the maxillary and mandibular regions of the trigeminal nerve.
- * Pathological analysis revealed the presence of mature adipose tissue infiltrating surrounding tissues, suggesting a link between CILF and the early development of neural structures.

Background: Facial infiltrating lipomatosis (FIL) is a rare condition characterized by congenital facial enlargement. Beyond its impact on physical appearance, FIL can also impair essential facial functions such as swallowing, chewing, vision, and breathing, imposing a substantial physiological and psychological burden. Currently, fewer than 80 cases of FIL have been reported, and the characteristics and management strategies for FIL remain unclear.
