Lipomas are benign, mesenchymal neoplasms occurring in areas of abundant adipose tissue. They can be found anywhere in the body with approximately 15-20 % located in head and neck region and the majority of rest in the shoulder and back. They are uncommon in hand and even rare in fingers. We report a case of lipoma in 22 year old female who presented to us with a painless swelling. Surgical excision was done. Lipoma should always be kept in the list of differential diagnosis. Complete resection should be done to prevent recurrence.

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign skeletal developmental anomaly where normal bone is replaced by fibrous tissue. There is a defect in osteoblastic differentiation and maturation of normal bone, which results in formation of structurally weak bone. Disease can affect one bone (monostotic) or multiple bones (polyostotic). Fibrous dysplasia usually involves femur, tibia, pelvis, ribs and skull. It rarely occurs in bones of hands and feet. We report a case of fibrous dysplasia of proximal phalanx of left middle finger in a 10 year old female.
