Description
Summary:Abstract Hand lipomas are rare in the hand, and they account for less than 1% of tumors. Osteolipoma is a rare variant of lipoma that is associated with bone metaplasia. It presents as a painless tumor that can cause symptoms when compressing adjacent structures. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the imaging study of choice. The treatment is surgical resection, with no recurrences being reported. We present the case of a patient with a giant subfascial hand osteolipoma, which, to the best of our knowledge has not yet been reported in the literature. Resumen Los lipomas son infrecuentes en la mano, y representan menos del 1% de los tumores. El osteolipoma es una variante rara del lipoma que se caracteriza por presentar metaplasia ósea. Se presenta como una tumoración indolora que puede ser sintomática al comprimir estructuras adyacentes. La resonancia nuclear magnética (RNM) es el estudio de imagen de elección. El tratamiento es quirúrgico, no habiéndose relatado recurrencias. Presentamos el caso de una paciente con un osteolipoma gigante subfascial de mano, hasta ahora no relatado en la literatura.
