Abstract
We report a case of subcutaneous lipoma of the right index digit in a 21-year-old woman. Histopathologically, the mass was circumscribed and mainly showed a proliferation of mature adipocytes with intervening fibrous tissue. Degenerated adipocytes were also observed which were associated with occasional foamy histiocytes and multinucleated giant cells. Lipoma of the digit is very rare but should be considered in the differential diagnosis for a nodule in the finger.
