Abstract

Lipomas are the commonest soft tissue tumor. However, those arsing in the hand are infrequent. Lipomas in the hand that exhibit a size of more than 5 cm call giant lipoma, these are very rare only case reports and small series of this entity have been described. We could experience a case about giant lipoma of the hand which cannot easily contact, we report a case including review of literatures.

지방종은 흔한 양성 연부 조직 종양이지만 수부에서의 발생은 흔하지 않다. 특히 수부에서 5 cm 이상의 지방종인 거대 지방종은 매우 드물어 전세계적으로 매우 적은 수의 증례만이 발표되었다. 저자들은 수부에 발생하고 조직학적으로 거대 지방종으로 확진 받았던 1례를 경험였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고한다.
