“…In addition, there is also a paucity of literature describing them. To the best of our knowledge, less than 5 cases of myxoid liposarcoma presenting in the hand have been described in literature [2], [3]. This case highlights the importance of having a high suspicion for these rare diagnoses in the differential for hand pathologies.…”

“…They have a higher incidence in males in their fifth decade of life [4]. Proposed etiologies for tumor development include genetic contributions, metabolic imbalances, and trauma [2]. They are found most frequently in the extremities, with a greater incidence in the lower extremities, particularly the thigh [5].…”

“…Myxoid liposarcoma is a rare hand pathology but is important to consider when risk factors such as genetic contributions, metabolic imbalances, and trauma may be present [2]. Adjuvant radiation treatment is important for attenuating recurrent disease.…”

Malignant hand tumors are rarely observed in clinical practice which makes distinguishing them from benign soft tissue masses particularly challenging. A 41-year-old male presented with joint pain and swelling of his left index metacarpophalangeal joint. Radiological studies showed pronounced swelling around the affected joint with no bony abnormality, but incision and drainage of the site yielded negative cultures. Subsequent gross total resection confirmed the diagnosis of myxoid liposarcomas after cytogenetic pathology examination. Recurrence occurred after 1 year, followed by second resection and adjuvant radiotherapy. At 2 years follow-up, the patient was recurrence free. In conclusion, myxoid liposarcoma should be in the differential diagnosis of an older patient with erythema and swelling surrounding a subfascial mass of the hand.
