Parosteal Lipoma of the Proximal Phalanx of Hand
Parosteal lipomas are rare benign tumors accounting for less than 0.1% of all primary bone tumors. Only 3 cases of parosteal lipoma have been previously described affecting the distal and middle phalanges. We describe a case of parosteal lipoma in a 45-year-old man involving the proximal phalanx of the right middle finger. The tumor was marginally excised with the osseous attachment. There was no clinical or radiological recurrence at a follow-up of 2 years, with full range of movement at the proximal interphalangeal joint.Myopericytoma of the Base of the Finger: Radiological and Pathological Description of a Rare Benign Entity
A previously healthy 46-year-old woman presented with a mass lesion between the bases of the fourth and fifth fingers of the right hand. The mass had grown progressively over 2 years and started to cause practical difficulties in everyday life. Imaging depicted a hypervascular and well-circumscribed soft tissue tumor with imaging characteristics of a sarcoma. The lesion was treated surgically. The final diagnosis of the specimen upon pathology was a myopericytoma, a benign smooth-muscle cell neoplasm.Reticular Perineurioma of the Hand: Diagnosis and Treatment of a Rare Case of Hand Mass
Reticular perineurioma is a rare and recently delineated morphologic variant of benign perineurioma of skin and soft tissues. Because of its nonspecific gross appearance, varying histologic patterns, and potential range of cellularity, perineurioma of the hand is likely to be confused with more commonly encountered tumor or tumor-like conditions such as schwannoma, neurofibroma, fibromyxoid tumors, and giant tumor of tendon sheath. We report the case of a 20-year-old woman who presented with a slowly growing mass of the hand, which was eventually identified as a reticular perineurioma.
