Summary

Peri-ungual lipomas, rare tumors of the nail unit, are described in three new cases. Two of these rare lipomas showed histological features of perisudoral lipomas, adding to medical knowledge.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Lipomas are common benign soft tissue tumors typically found on the neck, torso, and legs.
  • Lipomas affecting the nail unit are exceptionally rare, with only five previous cases documented.
  • Previous reports include four subungual lipomas and one lateral nail fold lipoma.

Observation:

  • This report details three new cases of peri-ungual lipomas.
  • One case involved a digit, and two cases affected the toes.
  • The location of these lipomas is adjacent to the nail.

Findings:

  • Two of the three reported peri-ungual lipomas presented histological features consistent with perisudoral lipomas.
  • This finding contributes to the understanding of lipoma subtypes and their locations.

  • The rarity of nail unit lipomas makes each case significant for study.

    • Implications:

    • These cases expand the known spectrum of lipoma presentation, particularly in the peri-ungual region.
    • Further research into the etiology and specific characteristics of peri-ungual and perisudoral lipomas is warranted.
    • Increased awareness may improve diagnosis and management of these rare soft tissue tumors.
