A Case Report of Proximal Palm Giant Lipoma Leading to Double Nerve Compression, with a Brief Literature Review

Lipomas are frequently found as benign neoplasms in humans, mainly in the head, neck, and upper limb regions. Because of their rare occurrence in hands and digits, such cases attract researchers' attention. A case description of a 28-year-old Saudi male patient is presented with a large-size lipoma at the distal forearm, carpal tunnel, and Guyon canal area, with numbness of the central three digits and grip strength weakness of his left hand. The nature of the lesion was a benign, subcutaneous, multilobulated lipoma, removed surgically to prevent malignant transformation and deterioration in neuropathy.

Abstract

Lipomas are frequently found as benign neoplasms in humans, mainly in the head, neck, and upper limb regions. Because of their rare occurrence in hands and digits, such cases attract researchers' attention. A case description of a 28-year-old Saudi male patient is presented with a large-size lipoma at the distal forearm, carpal tunnel, and Guyon canal area, with numbness of the central three digits and grip strength weakness of his left hand. The nature of the lesion was a benign, subcutaneous, multilobulated lipoma, removed surgically to prevent malignant transformation and deterioration in neuropathy.
