Description
Lawrence Hurst and co-authors looked for signs that a benign hand tumor will return after surgery, in a study published in 2026. These growths, which arise near tendons, are the second most common tumor of the hand, and they come back in a wide share of cases.
The team reviewed 74 patients treated at one medical centre from 2001 to 2024, with an average follow up of more than seven years. Eleven tumors returned, a rate of about fifteen percent. Growth into bone was the strongest warning sign: it was present in every case that returned, and in about half of those that did not. The study collected fifty-five clinical factors to guide surgeons.
