Large lipomas in the deep palmar space.
Lipoma in the deep palmar space of the hand is an unusual tumor. Our experience with seven of these tumors indicates that they can be unusually large at initial examination, can first be seen with paresthesias in branches of the median nerve, and can be difficult to surgically expose. Marginal resection of this tumor is curative.
