Uncommon Presentation of a Lipoma in the Middle Phalanx of the Ring Finger: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Lipomas are commonly identified as benign neoplasms in humans, primarily located in the head, neck, and upper limb areas. Their rare appearance in hands and digits makes such cases particularly intriguing to those in the field. We present a case of a middle-aged Saudi female patient who presented with a large lipoma at the middle phalanx of the right ring finger, with numbness distal to the lipoma, emphasizing the uncommon nature of this occurrence and the significance of surgical intervention.
