Abstract

A 39-year-old man presented with a large mass on her left hand that was progressively enlarging over a period of a few years. He had pain syndrome, cosmetic concerns about the enlarging mass, and experi-enced interference with routine activity. Physical examination revealed a soft, mobile, non-tender, lobulated mass with well-defined margins. Ultrasound diagnostic showed the soft lump to be a lipomatous mass in the deep palmar space of the hand, which was subsequently surgically resected. The imaging features of deep palmar lipomas of the hand and other common benign lesions at this location are discussed.
