Description
Salma Jarrar and Salim Al Lahham report a rare tumor case in the hand in a 2024 paper, paired with a review of past cases. The tumor type is an intramuscular myxoma, a benign soft tissue growth. It is painless, grows slowly, and most often appears in the thigh. Only a lab exam of the tissue can confirm it for sure. Growths of this kind in the hand are extremely rare.
Fewer than five cases have been reported in the thenar eminence, the fleshy mound at the base of the thumb. The case here is a fifty four year old woman. Her growth in those thumb muscles had been present for ten years. The authors use her case to sum up what is known about this rare site and to alert hand surgeons that the diagnosis belongs on their list.
