Lipomas are one of the commonest benign soft tissue tumors. Lipomas are common in upper limbs, but they rarely occur in the deep palm and usually do not compress the surrounding structures when diagnosed. A 42 years old female patient presented with a large painless swelling at right palmar metacarpophalengial area, paresthesia and pain of the 1-4. fingers, movement limitation and thumb weakness. Ultrasound examination suggested the swelling to be of fatty nature. MRI showed a well circumscribed soft tissue swelling (6x5x4cm) in the deep palmar, carpal-metacarpal space, pressuring the median nerve. The patient was operated due to the presence of the clinical symptoms and become symptom free after surger.
