ABSTRACT

Lipoma is a quite common type of soft-tissue tumor, but it is rarely found in the hand. Hand lipomas are generally asymptomatic; however, when they become too large or when they are present in some specific location, they can cause symptoms due to compression of the median nerve. These tumors must be correctly characterized preoperatively with imaging exams and the proper management is the complete removal of the tumor and release of the median nerve. The authors present the case of a female patient with carpal tunnel syndrome due to compression of the median nerve by a giant palmar lipoma, successfully treated with tumor excision and nerve release.


O lipoma é um tumor frequente dos tecidos moles, mas a sua localização na mão é rara. Os lipomas da mão geralmente são assintomáticos; contudo, quando apresentam um grande crescimento ou em determinadas localizações, podem causar sintomas devido à compressão do nervo mediano. Esses tumores devem ser devidamente caracterizados pré-operatoriamente com um exame de imagem e seu correto tratamento baseia-se na sua excisão completa e liberação do nervo mediano. Apresentamos o caso clínico de uma paciente com o diagnóstico de síndrome do túnel carpal resultante de compressão do nervo mediano por um lipoma palmar gigante, tratada com sucesso com lipectomia e descompressão nervosa.

ABSTRACT

The authors discuss the endoscopic techniques as an adjunctive in the evaluation and treatment of maxillo-facial fractures, particularly in the mandible, with special attention to the reduction and osteosynthesis near the condyle for those fractures with clear surgical indication. And also as a support in to the correct execution of the transbuccal techniques for treatment of body and angle fractures and in the repair of the orbital floor. The perspective of this work is the systematic search for quality, with diminution of iatrogenic effects and surgical risk, aims of modern surgery, even if with some technical difficulties and consumption of extra time, efforts.
