Common tumors of the hand.
Many types of cell structures that exist within the hand contribute to the broad spectrum of hand tumors, the majority of which are benign. When evaluating patients, the physician must be aware of the various types of tumors that can exist in order to predict the type of tumor present and also to advise the patient preoperatively concerning the possibility of recurrences, relief of symptoms, and the chances of malignancy.
