WELL-DIFFERENTIATED LIPOSARCOMA OF THE HAND: Case report

Pages 185-187 | Published online: 08 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

Malignant lipomatous tumours of the hands are extremely rare. A 62-year-old man complained of an enlarging, soft, painless mass in his left hand. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a fatty tumour with irregular septa, and an incisional biopsy showed it to be a well-differentiated liposarcoma. The tumour was resected en bloc and he had a course of external beam radiotherapy. Apart from a slight reduction in grip strength he was well 15 months later with no sign of recurrence.
