Description
Antonioenrico Gentile, Ludovica de Gregorio, and Fabrizio Schonauer report the removal of a giant two-lobed fatty tumor from a woman's hand, in a case report from 2025. Lipomas are common benign tumors, but a giant one split across two hand compartments is rare. The hand's tight anatomy, with nerves and vessels close by, makes surgery delicate.
The patient, aged 67, had a slow-growing, painless lump of about five centimeters between two metacarpal bones. MRI showed a clean, fatty mass with no sign of cancer. The team cut from both the back and the palm side to free the hourglass-shaped tumor in one piece. She moved the hand again at two weeks, with full function back and no return at six months.
