“…However, with growth and in a low compliance soft tissue environment, such as the hand, these neoplasms can result in a fast compression of neurovascular structures, especially in the deep palmar space. Few case reports or series have reported lipomas causing secondary compression neuropathies [ 3 , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] ].…”

Highlights Space-occupying lesions like lipoma are a rare cause of secondary compression neuropathies of the upper extremity. Atypical symptomatology should raise suspicion of local causes and regular work-up should be extended. Images studies leads to successful diagnosis and guidance of the best surgical treatment. Monobloc resection is still the best treatment to reduce the risk of iatrogenic lesions and disease recurrence.

Lipoma is a very frequent benign soft tissue tumor, but its occurrence in the hands is rare. Lipoma in the hands is generally asymptomatic; however, symptoms may develop if local neurovascular structures are compressed due to size or location of the lipoma. Carpal tunnel syndrome, which is a compressive neuropathy of the median nerve, is the most common neuropathy in the hands and presents pain, numbness, hypoesthesia, and atrophy of the thenar muscle. We present a case of carpal tunnel syndrome by deep-seated giant lipoma with a literature review.

Lipomas are well-defined tumors of the adipose tissue that often occur in the torso or the extremities of adult patients. These tumors usually develop painlessly and insidiously, but they may compress adjacent structures. The objective of the present study is to describe the case of a 68-year-old female patient with a giant lipoma located at the hypothenar region, with manifestation of compression of the common palmar digital nerves, the ulnar nerve, and the abductor muscle of the V finger. Regarding the symptoms, the patient felt moderate pain in the hypothenar region, with no Tinel sign, and no changes in the motor function or sensibility of the digits innervated by the ulnar nerve. Lipomas may present a varied range of histological characteristics, and malignant tumors may be a differential diagnosis. An imaging exam may aid in the diagnosis, which is confirmed by a histopathological study. For the present case, as recommended in the literature, a surgical procedure was performed for the resection of the tumor, which resulted in the control of the symptoms.
