Background
More than 15% of all soft tissue tumors arise in the hand1. Because of the location of these tumors, even small abnormalities may be alarming to patients on presentation. Although the majority of lesions are benign and can be diagnosed solely by history and physical examination, additional imaging workup may be required to confirm a diagnosis or define anatomic extent of involvement. This exhibit aims to review the basic epidemiology, clinical presentation, imaging findings, and treatment options of the more common soft-tissue tumors of the hand.
Educational Goals / Teaching Points
To review the epidemiology, clinical presentation, imaging findings and treatment options for the basic soft-tissue masses of the hand.
Key Anatomic/Physiologic Issues and Imaging Findings/Techniques
Ganglion cyst, tenosynovial giant cell tumors, lipomas, schwannomas, glomus tumors, vascular tumors and malformations, superficial fibromatoses, synovial chondromatosis, and soft-tissue malignancies.
Conclusion
Review of the most common soft tissue masses of the hand.
