“…Differential diagnosis for a swelling in the hand is a large spectrum diseases encompassing both include neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions. 8,9,17 Lipoma on fingers is rarely considered clinically because of other common conditions such as ganglion cysts, giant cell tumours of tendon sheath, epidermal inclusion cysts, lipomas, neuromas, nerve sheath tumours, fibromas, glomus tumours, myxomas, angiolipomas and intraneural lipofibromas. Diagnosis in the hand and digits can be difficult, because of their rarity and deeper location.…”

Lipoma digits: Commonest tumour â€“ Uncommonest sites: Report of 2 cases

Lipomas may occur anywhere within the body. However, their occurrence in the digits is very rare. We report 2 cases of lipoma in the digits. The first case is of a 70 years lady who had a soft painless swelling in the left thumb while the second case was of a 40 years lady who presented with a swelling over the medial aspect of right foot. Excision biopsy in both the cases proved them to be lipoma. The cases are presented due to the rarity of their sites as only 14 cases of lipoma in the digits have been reported earlier.

“…Lipoma of the foot should be differentiated from other lipomatous lesions such as fat herniation. [16][17][18] Lipomas of the tendon sheaths and joints can be of two types. The first type occurs as solid fatty masses extending along the tendons for varying distances.…”

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.

Introduction: A lipoma is a benign tumor of the adipose tissue and the most common tumor of the subcutaneous tissue which is most commonly found on the trunk. It appears as a round or oval subcutaneous mass of soft consistency, which is not attached to the skin or to the deeper tissues. Its growth can cause compressive symptoms, the most common being pain and paresthesia. Case report: Considering the fact that lipomas very rarely occur in the hand and foot, in this paper we present a case of a large lipoma in the hand of a 70-year-old female patient, with a subcutaneous tumor, in the area of the ulnar side of the left palm, and the pain and tingling in the fourth and fifth finger. Longitudinal incision on the medial side of the palm and transversal incision up to the proximal palmar crease were performed under general endotracheal anesthesia. The extirpated tumor was, due to its dimensions (5.6 x 3.4 x 2.5 cm), categorized as a giant hand lipoma. A histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of lipoma. Conclusion: A hand lipoma requires surgical treatment exclusively, involving a qualified hand surgeon, which is important because of the high functional and aesthetic importance of the hand.
