“…Although GCTTS is commonly seen in adults, it is also the second most common soft tissue tumor-like lesion in pediatric hand according to our study. [3,10,11] The recurrence rate for the GCTTS is 1/9 (11%) in our series. This rate is similar to the literature.…”

“…Hand tumors and tumor-like lesions mostly have a different distribution from the whole body and ganglion cysts are the most common tumor-like lesions of the hand. [2,3] The pediatric population or families mostly concern about the growing mass of the hand and this is the most common complaint for applying to the hospital. General examination of the pediatric population is mostly challenging, sensitive and different from the adults.…”

Hand tumors are uncommon and the malignant ones are less commonly seen pathologies. [1] Pediatric hand tumors are particularly rare and one of the less investigated topics of musculoskeletal tumors. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the distribution and prevalence of pediatric hand tumors and tumor-like lesions according to age and gender. Patients and methods: We retrospectively examined the details of hospital records of 646 patients who were operated for hand mass between January 2009 and January 2019 and whose pathological diagnosis was established in the same hospital. A total of 54 patients (18 males, 36 females; mean age 12.07 years; range, 3 month to 17 years) under 18 years of age who had been operated for the wrist or hand mass were included in the study. Results: Out of 54 tumors, 53 were benign (98%) and one was malignant (2%). There were 42 soft tissue tumors (78%) and 12 bone tumors (22%). The most common soft tissue mass was ganglion cyst (n=12). Six out of 12 ganglion cysts were on the dorsal side of hand or wrist and six were on the volar side. The distribution of the tumors according to gender was not statistically significant (p=0.73). We had two recurrences: one patient with giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath and one with palmar fibromatosis. Conclusion: Pediatric hand/wrist masses are mostly benign tumorous conditions. The location of the pathologies may be different from the adults. Diagnosis of the tumor should be established carefully clinically and radiologically while malignant tumors should be kept in mind by both pediatricians and orthopedic surgeons.

“…However, the hand is not frequently involved. In a retrospective study of the epidemiology of hand tumors, only 20 (4.9%) out of 402 hand tumors were diagnosed as lipomas [ 1 ]. A lipoma of the hand can be located in subcutaneous, subaponeurotic, or intramuscular locations.…”

Lipomas are benign tumors that rarely settle in the hand. They usually present with mass, pain, and nerve compression symptoms. Although isolated median or ulnar nerve compression neuropathy secondary to a lipoma of the hand has been widely reported, simultaneous median and ulnar nerve compression neuropathy are exceedingly rare and there are only three reported cases in the current literature to date. Herein, a case of a 50-year-old woman with a giant palmar lipoma that caused median and ulnar compression neuropathy is presented. The removal of the tumor resulted in the complete recovery of the patient’s symptoms. A deep-seated palmar lipoma should be kept in mind in patients with unilateral compression neuropathy symptoms with a palmar mass.

Benign tumours of the upper extremity are common in hand surgeons’ practice. The most commonly diagnosed are giant-cell tumours of the tendon sheath and lipomas. The objective of this study was an investigation into the distribution of tumours in the upper limb, their symptomatology and outcomes of surgery, particularly regarding the rate of recurrence. Material and Methods A total of 346 patients, 234 women (68%) and 112 men (32%), who had undergone surgery for tumours located in the upper extremity which were not ganglion cysts were enrolled into the study. The follow-up assessment was performed at a mean of 21 months (range 12–36) post-operatively. Results The most common tumour in this study was giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath − 96 cases (27.7%), followed by lipoma − 44 cases (12.7%). Most lesions − 231 (67%) were localized in the digits. A total of 79 (23%) recurrences were noted, the most common after surgery for rheumatoid nodules - 43.3% and the giant-cell tumours of the tendon sheath − 31.3%. The independent factors increasing risk of recurrence following the tumour’s resection were: histological type of the lesion - the giant-cell tumour of the tendon sheath (p=0.0086) and the rheumatoid nodule (p=0.0027), as well as a combination of incomplete (non-radical) and not “en block” resection of tumours. A brief review of the literature referring to the presented material is offered.
