Tumors of the Hand and the Wrist.

Most tumors of the hand and the wrist are benign; however, malignant conditions can mimic benign tumors and must be worked up accordingly. Advanced imaging should be followed by biopsy before definitive treatment of tumors of unknown diagnosis. The most common soft-tissue masses in the hand and the wrist are ganglion cysts, whereas the most common bone tumors are enchondromas.
