A case of peroneal nerve entrapment is reported in a patient with scleroderma. Compression was due to a lipoma in the popliteal fossa and resulted in increasingly severe foot-drop. Complete recovery occurred after the lipoma was resected. A brief review of peroneal nerve palsies and lipomatosis is presented.
