Soft tissue lesions of the hand and wrist may be divided into two groups: tumor-like lesions and true neoplasms. The true neoplasms may be subdivided into benign and malignant tumors. Given the intricate anatomy of the hand and wrist, the presentation and treatment of these lesions may differ from those found in other locations of the body.

One should start with plain radiographs to rule out bony involvement and to obtain key information for soft tissue masses (e.g., phleboliths in hemangioma and cortical disruption of an invasive sarcoma). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides useful information regarding soft tissues.
Alternatives to biopsy include fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and core needle biopsy; however, these methods are preferable only with tumor-like conditions. Because of the small size of tumors in the hand and wrist, excisional biopsy is usually the preferred method.
Lipomas are benign proliferations of adipocytes. They are rubbery, mobile masses that do not transilluminate and are circumscribed by a layer of loose areolar tissue ( Fig. 63-4 ). Generally painless, lipomas may become symptomatic by mass effect in the carpal tunnel, Guyon’s canal, the thenar and hypothenar eminences, and other deep spaces.
