ABSTRACT
Lipomas are common benign mesenchymal tumors composed of mature fat cells that may or may not be surrounded by a thin, fibrous capsule. The link with trauma has already been described. Lipomas involving the fingers are extremely rare but must be considered in the differential diagnosis of benign soft tissue masses in this particular location.

Aqueles envolvendo os dedos são extremamente raros, mas devem ser considerados no diagnóstico diferencial das massas benignas de tecidos moles em tal localização.
