Lipomas are very common benign soft tissue neoplasms arising from fatty tissue and may occur anywhere in the body. They are usually slow growing, painless masses often noted in the extremities of adult women. Occurrence in the hands and feet is unusual and those found in the digits are extremely rare. We describe a case of a lipoma presenting as a soft tissue mass of the index finger and show how computed tomography was extremely helpful in preoperative assessment by accurately defining the size of the lesion, the degree of bone involvement, and even giving indication of its underlying pathology.
脂肪瘤是起源于脂肪组织的非常常见的良性软组织肿瘤，可发生于身体的任何部位。它们通常生长缓慢，是无痛性肿块，常见于成年女性的四肢。在手和脚发生较为少见，而在手指中发现的脂肪瘤极为罕见。我们描述了一例表现为食指软组织肿块的脂肪瘤病例，并展示了计算机断层扫描如何通过准确界定病变大小、骨受累程度，甚至提示其潜在病理情况，在术前评估中极有帮助。
