title: Congenital and infantile benign skin lesions affecting the hand and upper extremity, part 2: nonvascular neoplasms.
abstract: This article is part 2 of a 2-part series presented to aid the hand surgeon in becoming familiar with dermatological lesions that may be present on the upper extremity during infancy. The discussion focuses on nonvascular neoplasms grouped into the following categories: epithelial, melanocytic, histiocytic, dermal, fibroblastic, and adipocytic neoplasms. Diagnostic tips are offered, including clinical photographs, to help differentiate between these lesions. In addition, the recommended treatment for each is discussed.
