A consecutive series of 122 patients with 141 lipomas of the upper extremities has been studied and the data analyzed. The anatomical distribution of these lesions has been documented, and the classic concept of lipoma of tendon sheaths has been questioned. The clinical presentation of the lesions and its significance has been explored.
