Description
Roberto Rodriguez-Ramirez and co-authors present a 2026 clinical case of a giant fatty tumour in a woman's thumb pad. Lipomas are common benign growths, but in the tight space of the hand a large one can squeeze structures and weaken grip. The patient, aged 73, had lived with the mass for six years.
Pain on thumb movement, weakness and reduced pinch strength brought her to clinic. Scans showed a clean-edged fatty lesion of 5 by 3 centimetres with no sign of cancer. Surgeons removed it through the palm mound and found a neat capsule under the thumb muscle, sparing nerves and tendons. Tissue checks confirmed a lipoma and her recovery was smooth.
