A lipoma is a common, benign soft-tissue tumor that rarely arises in the upper limb. When one does occur in the hand, the location of the lipoma can cause nerve compression, which can mimic carpal tunnel symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging is the visualization modality of choice for diagnosis and surgical planning of lipomas. Surgical resection is recommended to relieve the neurological manifestations of this disease. The surgeon should always suspect liposarcoma first before voluminous, atypical, or recurrent tumors are considered.

“…Although the occurrence of lipomas in the hand remains rare, between 1 and 3.8% of benign tumors in hands [2], their clinical and therapeutic particulars require a physician to consider each case specifically. The rich neurovascular environment and weak compliance of the soft tissue in hands are the foundations for this specificity.…”

“…Although lipomas represent the most common soft-tissue benign mass in the body, their incidence in the hand is nonetheless rare, accounting for between 1 and 3.8% of all lipomas [ 4 ]. The differentials of such a tumour include benign lesions such as ganglion cysts, giant-cell tumours and fibrolipomas of the median nerve [ 5 ].…”

Lipomas are the commonest benign tumour, made up exclusively of adipose tissue, and can arise anywhere in the body. However, giant lipomas of the hand, defined as >5 cm in diameter, are rare. They have the potential to invade into surrounding areas and cause a multitude of symptoms due to the compression and proximity of underlying structures. We describe a case of a 64-year-old woman who presents with a swelling of the left thenar eminence, associated with numbness and tingling in all fingers. Magnetic resonance imaging and nerve conduction studies confirmed the diagnosis of a lipoma causing median nerve compression. The patient underwent elective surgical excision with good postoperative recovery. The excised lesion, measuring 12 × 7 × 2.4 cm, is one of the largest giant lipomas of the hand reported in literature, and the first to demonstrate invasion from the mid palmar space into both the dorsal sub-aponeurotic space and carpal tunnel.

“…Soft tissue lipoma is the most common benign tumor found in limbs, although the occurrence of lipoma in the hand remains rare, between 1 and 3.8% of benign tumors in the hand [ 1 ]. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most frequent peripheral compression neuropathy, although a CTS caused by a space occupying lesion is rare and causes more complications than idiopathic CTS.…”

Lipoma is a relatively frequent, benign soft-tissue tumor rarely located in the hand. A lipoma of the hand causing a carpal tunnel syndrome by compression of the median nerve is exceptional. We report the case of a 70-year-old female presenting with a carpal tunnel syndrome. A compression of the median nerve by a lipoma was discovered during surgery. Transverse carpal ligament release with lipoma excision and neurolysis of the median nerve were performed. Histopathological study of the resected mass was consistent with a lipoma. Two-month postoperatively, the patient recovered full hand function with entire disappearance of acroparesthesia. Carpal tunnel syndrome caused by space occupying lesions is rare. Diagnosis is difficult, usually based on the clinical study, electrophysiology and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Transverse carpal ligament release and excision of lipoma provides excellent functional recovery.
