Abstract
Giant lipomas of the upper extremity are infrequently reported. They c an alter function by restricting motion or producing compressive neuro pathies. This report of four cases of giant lipoma in the hand and for earm illustrates these functional losses. The role of MRI and CT in pr eoperative evaluation of these lesions is discussed and a report of an anterior interosseous syndrome caused by a giant lipoma is presented.
