Electromyography findings were significant for ulnar neuropathy distal to the branch innervating the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU), without superimposed cervical radiculopathy or other focal entrapment neuropathy. During open ulnar nerve neurolysis, an intramuscular lipoma was encountered within the FCU. Lipoma excision and cubital tunnel release with ulnar nerve transposition were performed with complete relief of neuropraxia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We demonstrate full neurologic recovery after intramuscular lipoma excision and cubital tunnel release.
