Abstract

Lipomas are very frequent benign soft tissue tumors. They are ubiquitous in the human body but their incidence in the hand is rare. This is a case report of a 20-year-old female who presented with a 10-month history of painful swelling over her palm. Surgical excision of the tumor was done without any consequences on the hand’s function and no signs of recurrence at the latest follow-up of 2 years. Although hand lipomas are rare, they should not be neglected. The anatomic particularities of the hand require special care in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to these tumors.
