Lipomas often remain asymptomatic for extended periods, only becoming a source of discomfort or concern once they increase in size or impact one's appearance. Although most lipomas are benign and pose little risk to overall health, certain malignant variants exist. Recurrence of lipoma is uncommon and typically suggests an incomplete initial excision. In anatomically complex regions like the hand or wrist, meticulous planning and preoperative imaging are essential to prevent compression, exclude malignancy, and preserve function.
