A tumor in the hand or wrist—whether soft tissue or bone-based—may appear as a lump, swelling, or pain. While many are benign, proper diagnosis and removal are essential to avoid complications.
What Kind of Tumors Can Occur?
Hand and wrist tumors can arise from:
- Soft tissues (e.g., ganglion cysts, lipomas)
- Nerve or tendon sheaths
- Bony structures like enchondromas or osteomas
Even painless lumps should be evaluated to rule out malignancy.
Symptoms That Need Medical Attention
Consider seeing a specialist if you notice:
- A persistent or growing lump
- Discomfort or tenderness on touch
- Visible swelling without injury
- Restricted movement or nerve symptoms
