Abstract

Hand tumors are a very common problem in hand surgery. While these lesions are most often benign, malignant lesions often have an atypical presentation and are discovered late, very often during an inappropriate treatment. To optimize the care of hand tumors and to reduce diagnostic and treatment errors, we will review the broad diagnostic and therapeutic principles and the most common clinical presentations.
