“…[1,4] The slight female preponderance in this study is in consonance with other studies. [1,3,5,6] A few studies, however, have documented a higher prevalence in males. [4,7] Conventional lipoma was the most common benign adipocytic tumor seen in this study accounting for 82.8% of cases; followed by fibrolipoma.…”

“…Most often presenting as a solitary mass, hand lipomas are often asymptomatic and only come to clinical attention when they are of cosmetic concern or become large enough to create mechanical impairment. In Leffert's series of 141 lipomas of the upper extremity [9] 109 tumors were asymptomatic and excised for aesthetic reasons only. Of the 32 symptomatic lesions, 26 caused pain or tenderness, and 6 produced paresthesias or sensory deficit secondary to nerve compression.…”

Article HistoryIntroduction-Lipoma is the most common and most widely distributed tumor seen in the body. The most common clinical presentation is a gradually increasing, soft and non-tender mass. These tumours are very rare in hands and if they are present then they are of small size and usually one in number. Herewith we are presenting a case of Palmar Lipomatosis which had a large tumour and 4 small size tumour in same palm. Case report-Herewith we are reporting a case of a 40 years old female, presented with the complaints of multiple swellings in the right palm. She first noticed a small swelling on the thenar aspect of palm about 1½ years back; which was slowly, progressively increasing in size since then. Meanwhile patient also noticed some other swellings in the same palm. Incisions were given over thenar, hypothenar and at the bases of finger. All the tumors were removed en-masse. Biopsy report was fibrolipoma. ConclusionPalmar lipoma is very rare tumour. Palm has very limited space for these tumours to grow but still these tumours can be found in palm. Very limited case reports about the lipoma of hand are present in literature. Here we presented a rare case of palmer lipomatosis which has multiple lipomatous swellings in same plam. They were removed successfully without any residual deformity.

“…Lipomas are benign tumors composed of mature lipocytes and they represent one of the most prevalent tumors of mesenchymal origin [5,6,7]. Lipomas and other tumors over the radial nerve are rare causes of chronic entrapment of the PIN, but they can produce a classic picture of PINS.…”

Posterior interosseous nerve syndrome is an entrapment neuropathy of the deep terminal branch of the radial nerve -the posterior interosseous nerve -at the radial tunnel. Radial neuropathy without prior injury or other obvious etiology occurs frequently. However, sometimes previous trauma, surgery, or tumors over the radial nerve contribute to chronic entrapment and can produce the classic syndrome. In this report we describe an unusual case of a 68-year-old-woman with a chronic posterior interosseous nerve syndrome due to a lipoma. The patient had poor recovery after surgery, despite splinting and rehabilitation physiotherapy, mainly because of the long duration (2 years) and severity of the compression neuropathy.
