We present the case of a 31-year-old woman who was referred with a 12-month history
of a tumor on the ulnar side of her dominant right hand. The eventual histopathologic
diagnosis was an atypical pleomorphous lipomatous tumor, an entity that has only been
recently classified in the World Health Organization Classification of Soft Tissue
and Bone Tumors.
