title: MRI of wrist and hand masses.
abstract: Hand and wrist masses represent a common diagnostic challenge. They are predominantly due to pseudomasses, which are mostly cysts and to benign masses that include tenosynovial tumors, fibrohamartolipomas, vascular malformations, glomus tumors and epidermal inclusion cysts. Malignant tumors of the wrist and the hand are extremely rare. Magnetic resonance imaging is the imaging technique of choice to characterize and circumscribe lesions to determine the best treatment option.
