Abstract:
Fibrolipoma is a rare histological variant of lipoma characterized by proliferation of mature fat and fibrous tissue. Most of the benign lipomatous tumors in the palm reported in the literature developed in the nervous tissue, especially the median nerve sheath. We report an unusual form of fibrolipoma on the palm which arose from the subcutaneous tissue or superficial palmar fascia in the palm, not the nerve or tendon sheath. There was no recurrence 3 years after surgical removal was performed.
