Purpose: Lipomatous tumor occurred in hand is very rare. There is a broad spectrum of lipomatous tumors including lipomas, variants of lipomas, lipomatosis, liposarcomas and so on. We report the clinical features of 11 cases of lipomatous tumor which occurred in hand.
Materials and Methods: Between 1992 and 2008, 11 cases were histologically diagnosed as lipomatous tumor in hand. We reviewed all medical records and clinical photographs retrospectively and ascertained recurrence by telephone interview.
Results: Eight cases were ordinary lipomas. Three cases were angiolipoma, fibrolipoma and atypical lipoma respectively. Four cases occurred in finger, two cases in thenar area, two cases in hypothenar area, one case in palm, two cases in wrist. All cases were situated on volar surface. All patients complained of palpable masses. One patient with subungal angiolipoma felt pain. There was no neurologic sign or vascular symptom preoperatively. In one case, postoperative complication (hypoesthesia in 5th finger) was developed. There was no local recurrence.
Conclusion: In our study, lipomatous tumors occurred in hand did not recur. Patients mainly complained of feeling of lump. Pain was uncommon symptom. Postoperative complication was rare if operation was performed carefully.
