  "abstract": "Objective: This study aimed to present the experience of a tertiary referral center in terms of the epidemiology, histopathology, and clinical presentation of lipomatous tumors of the hand and wrist.\n\nMethods: Patients, ≥ 18 years of age, who underwent surgery for tumors and had a histopathological diagnosis of lipomatous tumor in the hand and wrist between 2017 and 2024 were evaluated. Patients’ demographics, medical history, clinical presentation, imaging studies, surgical notes, histopathological findings, postoperative outcomes, and follow-up information were reported.\n\nResults: In total, 36 patients with a mean age of 49.5 years (range, 27-73) were included in the study. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging was available for 10 patients (27.8%). All lesions were benign. The most common diagnosis was conventional lipoma (n = 33, 91.7%). Neurological symptoms due to nerve compression were observed in 4 patients (11.1%). No preoperative biopsy was performed. All patients underwent marginal excision, and histopathological diagnosis was made postoperatively. The mean follow-up duration was 53.8 months (range, 24-97), with no recurrences reported.\n\nConclusion: Lipomatous tumors of the hand and wrist are more prevalent than previously believed. Although most are asymptomatic and benign, a significant number can cause compressive neuropathies. While routine imaging and excisional biopsy are often sufficient for diagnosis and treatment, atypical lesions should not be overlooked.\n\nCite this article as: Girgin AB, Acar A, Torun Ö, Öztürk EK, Kapakli GET, Çevik HB.
