Giant Liposarcoma of the Hand

Abstract

Liposarcoma is the most common soft tissue malignancy seen in adults. It usually derives from retroperitoneum and extremities, however, rarely seen in hands. If its diameter is higher than 5 cm, such tumor is defined as giant lipomatous tumor. We present here a 88-year-old male patient with a liposarcoma of the hand with 16 cm diameter and 483 grams weight, that caused restriction of finger and hand function and slowly grew over the past 20 years. Management of liposarcomas are still inconclusive. We successfully performed surgical resection with preservation of neurovascular bundles. Postoperative adjuvant external beam radiotherapy (dose 50 Gy) was performed. Functions of the hand returned to normal after the surgical operation and no clinical recurrence has been observed so far for the last two years. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest liposarcoma of the hand in the literature.
