Lipomas are frequently found as benign neoplasms in humans, mainly in the head, neck, and upper limb regions. Because of their rare occurrence in hands and digits, such cases attract researchers' attention. A case description of a 28-year-old Saudi male patient is presented with a large-size lipoma at the distal forearm, carpal tunnel, and Guyon canal area, with numbness of the central three digits and grip strength weakness of his left hand.

Article Synopsis
  • Pleomorphic adenoma, related to mixed cutaneous tumors and chondroid syringomas, typically arises from skin, salivary, and lacrimal glands, often affecting middle-aged men as a firm nodular lesion in the periorbital area.
  • A unique case of a young woman showed a pleomorphic adenoma as a small, nontender lump near her eyebrow, initially misdiagnosed as a sebaceous cyst, but confirmed after surgical excision.
  • Despite its rarity, pleomorphic adenoma should be considered in differential diagnoses for skin lesions in the head and neck, and complete surgical excision is essential for accurate assessment and to minimize recurrence risks.

The reverse radial artery forearm flap can be used as a fascial or fasciocutaneous flap in an islanded or peninsular form.

It has the appearance of the Greek capital letter delta, meaning it is shaped like a triangle. Because the faulty epiphysis occurs proximally to distally instead of along its usual horizontal course, the bone has a semilunar shape.
