Abstract
Soft tissue lipoma is one of the most common benign tumors rarely forming in hand. In this study, 11 cases of symptomatic hand lipoma were investigated. The chief complaint was a palpable mass in all 11 patients, out of whom 6 (55%) cases presented with neurological symptoms, including paresthesia and numbness in the median, ulnar, and superficial radial nerve pathways. One patient had an intramuscularly painful forearm with a large mass presentation. In the finger, the clinical manifestations were radial anesthesia of the finger. The mass sizes were above 5 cm3 and less than 5 cm3 in seven and four patients, respectively. The mean follow-up period was 25 months. No patient demonstrated a recurrence during the follow-up period. Although lipoma is a benign tumor and often presents itself as a palpable mass in the hand, it can cause neurological symptoms and decreased function. Regardless of the size of the tumor, mass removal can prevent symptoms.
