title: Lipoma of the index finger.
abstract: Lipomas are common, benign tumors originating from adipose tissues. They can occur anywhere on the body but are rarely found on the finger. We report two lipomas of the right index finger in a 46-year-old man; this is the first report of a lipoma occurring on the fingers in Korea.
