“…The first patient reported was by Stein in 1959 [5] diagnosed as lipoma of the finger. According to our research through Western literature, only 15 cases were found reported, which were diagnosed as lipoma of the fingers [6]. From these, totally 4 were on the index finger, 2 cases occurring distal to the right proximal interphalangeal joint [7] and 1 case to the left index finger [8], all of them were posttraumatic in nature, and 1 was non-traumatic in nature close to the proximal and middle phalanx of the digit [2].…”

We are reporting two rare cases of subcutaneous lipoma. One was present over the dorsal aspect of the right index finger, and another was over the volar aspect of the middle finger. In first case, it was extending proximally from the proximal interphalangeal joint. Surgical excision of the tumour was done. In follow-up, patient is doing well with normal finger movements. Although, it is not the only case reported, lipoma of the index finger is very uncommon.

“…However, they rarely present in the hand with a reported incidence of 1% [4], and they often arise in the thenar or hypothenar regions [3]. Lipomas occur most commonly in the fifth and sixth decade [5] and are more frequently encountered in women [6]. De La Cruz Monroy in her literature review identified 36 cases of digit lipomas since Stein published the first lipoma of the finger in 1959 [3, 7].…”

We report hereby the case of a 61-year-old man who presented with a soft-tissue swelling on the palmar aspect of the thumb. A detailed clinical examination followed by ultrasonography and excisional biopsy confirmed a spindle cell lipoma. Lipomas are rare in the hand and exceptional in the fingers, and we report, to our knowledge, the first spindle cell lipoma in the thumb to help in the differential diagnosis of a similar swelling.

“…They are seldom seen in the hand and are extremely rare in the digits 1 . Lipomas are benign soft tissue tumors accounting for approximately 16% of soft tissue mesenchymal tumors 5 .As mentioned previously lipomas in the digits have a reported incidence of only 1% 2 . Lipoma in the hand was classified by Manson as superficial and deep palmar lipoma; the deeper ones are less common than the superficial ones.…”
