Lipoma is a common soft tissue tumour in the human body, but at the same time is very rare in the palm and rarer still in the thenar region. These lipomas in the hand can give rise to various problems such as cosmetic, functional, and neurological compromise among others and removing them becomes important when symptomatic. Diagnosing a hand pathology becomes important as a missed diagnosis can have long-term functional consequences for a patient. In the case report, we discuss a hand palmar prominence which presented as an effusion and later turned out to be a large lipoma. Further, we also present a literature review of published thenar lipoma cases to throw light on the nuances of this rare pathology location, which, to our knowledge, has not been done comprehensively.
脂肪瘤是人体常见的软组织肿瘤，但同时在手掌中非常罕见，在大鱼际区域则更为罕见。手部的这些脂肪瘤可能会引发各种问题，如美观、功能和神经功能受损等，出现症状时将其切除就变得很重要。诊断手部病变很重要，因为漏诊可能会给患者带来长期的功能后果。在本病例报告中，我们讨论了一个表现为积液的手掌突出物，后来发现是一个大脂肪瘤。此外，我们还对已发表的大鱼际脂肪瘤病例进行了文献综述，以阐明这种罕见病理部位的细微差别，据我们所知，此前尚未对此进行全面的研究。
