Abstract

Peripheral nerve mucoid degeneration is a rare, non-neoplastic, localised degenerative condition of the peripheral nerve, characterised by endoneural deposit of mucoid matrix. Here, we present a rare case of peripheral nerve mucoid degeneration of the ulnar nerve which was clinically suspected to be of neoplastic aetiology.
