Benign skin and soft-tissue tumors of the hand.

Tumors of the hand are relatively rare when compared to other body regions; the majority are benign in nature. Skin and soft-tissue benign tumors can be classified according to their tissue or origin. Proper diagnosis and differentiation of benign from premalignant or malignant lesions are the most important steps in the management of hand tumors. Surgical excision under adequate anesthesia with histologic diagnosis is the commonest and most accepted treatment.
