Lipoma gigante bilobular en la mano: Caso clínico y revisión de la literatura

Los lipomas en la mano son infrecuentes y pueden asociar clínica compresiva de nervio mediano. Se denominan gigantes cuando superan los 5cm; en estos casos se debe hacer el diagnóstico diferencial con el liposarcoma. Describimos a continuación el caso de una paciente que presentó un lipoma gigante en la región palmar de la mano. Lipomas on the hands are uncommon, and could associate with compression on the median nerve. When these are bigger than 5 cm, are called giant lipomas, and must be distinguish from liposarcoma. Next, we’ll describe a patient’s case who presented a giant palmar lipoma.
