BACKGROUND: Lipomas are the most frequent benign soft tissue tumor that are rarely found in the hand and are exceptionally rare on the fingers. The aim of this study was to investigate lipomas of atypical locations, so that they can be taken into account when making a differential diagnosis of a tumor of the hand or fingers.
METHODS: We studied a group of 27 patients diagnosed with lipoma of the wrist, palm, and fingers. The diagnosis was made by clinical and imaging examinations. Surgical treatment was established based on symptoms of pain, paresthesias, functional impairment, or aesthetic concerns. Treatment outcomes were assessed clinically at 1.5 years post-intervention.
RESULTS: Sizes over 5 cm were recorded in five cases, with the largest lipoma being 8 by 5 by 3.5 cm in size and weighing 125 g, located in the palm. There was one case of spontaneous tendon rupture and one case of carpal tunnel syndrome. There was no recurrence recorded at 1.5-year follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: Lipomas in the palm and fingers are rare entities (with more men affected), and surgical treatment consists of complete removal of the tumor and providing definitive healing. Despite their rarity, clinicians should consider lipomas when making differential diagnoses of soft tissue tumors of the hand.
