“…16 Typically, lipomas are characterized histologically by mature adipose tissue cells without mitotic figures. 16 There is no risk of malignant transformation of conventional lipomas; they are excised for functional or cosmetic issues. 14,15 In the hand, lipomas arising in the carpal tunnel can compress the median nerve.…”

“…15 Other tumors such as ganglion cysts can present similar characteristics, but unlike lipomas, they transilluminate with an external light source. MR imaging is the preferred choice as it can visualize fat tissue and show deeper structures surrounding the tumor 16 (Figure 3). Lipomas are well-defined, homogeneous masses with hyperintense signals on T1- and hypointense signal in T2-weighted sequences.…”

“…Lipomas are well-defined, homogeneous masses with hyperintense signals on T1- and hypointense signal in T2-weighted sequences. 16 Complete fat suppression of the lesion on fat-saturated sequences indicates a benign mass. 16 A liposarcoma or myxoid variants of lipoma subtypes should be considered if there are areas of incomplete fat suppression with soft tissue enhancement with contrast.…”

Background: Benign soft-tissue tumors of the hand are more common than both their benign bone and malignant soft-tissue counterparts. This study evaluates the characteristics and treatment of benign soft tissue tumors in light of 1 institution’s experience. Methods: Histologically confirmed benign soft-tissue tumors of the hand were retrospectively identified using International Classification of Disease codes from 1992 to 2015. A medical chart review was conducted to collect patient demographics, tumor epidemiology, and treatment. Results: A total of 199 soft-tissue tumors were identified. The median patient age at time of treatment was 47.4 ± 14.7 years in age. The majority of tumors were located in the digits (n = 168, 84%) and treated by excision (n = 191, 96%). Localized type tenosynovial giant cell tumors (n = 71, 36%) were the most common and had the highest rates of recurrence (8.5%) in this series. Other frequent histologies included hemangioma, schwannoma, and glomus tumors. Conclusion: Awareness and understanding of tumor characteristics may help physicians with diagnosis and treatment. There is an extensive variety of tumors, but the principles of clinical and imaging diagnosis are common to all of them. Marginal excision for the treatment pain, improvement of function, and cosmetic correction applies to all these tumors independent of the histology.

Lipoma is a common soft tissue tumour in the human body, but at the same time is very rare in the palm and rarer still in the thenar region. These lipomas in the hand can give rise to various problems such as cosmetic, functional, and neurological compromise among others and removing them becomes important when symptomatic. Diagnosing a hand pathology becomes important as a missed diagnosis can have long-term functional consequences for a patient. In the case report, we discuss a hand palmar prominence which presented as an effusion and later turned out to be a large lipoma. Further, we also present a literature review of published thenar lipoma cases to throw light on the nuances of this rare pathology location, which, to our knowledge, has not been done comprehensively.
