Rare Benign Tumors and Tumor-like Lesions of the Hand without Skin Damage—Clinical, Imagistic and Histopathological Diagnosis, Retrospective Study
Background: The broad spectrum of diagnoses and clinical features of hand tumors and the absence of pathognomonic signs often lead to an inaccurate or delayed diagnosis. However, only a few reports have comprehensively referenced the diagnosis and clinical features of hand tumors. This study intends...

description | Background: The broad spectrum of diagnoses and clinical features of hand tumors and the absence of pathognomonic signs often lead to an inaccurate or delayed diagnosis. However, only a few reports have comprehensively referenced the diagnosis and clinical features of hand tumors. This study intends to highlight the clinical, imaging and histological characteristics of uncommon hand tumors or tumor-like lesions. Methods: In this retrospective study, we report a series of 80 patients diagnosed with rare hand tumors and tumor-like lesions without skin damage. Age, gender, tumor location, imaging examinations and clinical and laboratory findings were analyzed. The histopathological exam established the final diagnosis. Surgery was indicated and performed in all cases. Results: This study included: neurofibroma, glomus tumor, lipoma, schwannoma, epidermal inclusion cyst and idiopathic tenosynovitis with “rice bodies.” We have described the clinical, imagistic and histopathological particularities of these tumors. Surgical management included the complete removal of tumors, with no recurrence recorded within two years and overall high patient satisfaction. The most common findings were lipomas and the rarest neurofibromas. Conclusions: To optimize the care of hand tumors and reduce diagnostic and treatment errors, knowledge of hand tumor types and their clinical and laboratory characteristics is necessary for every surgeon. |
