Abstract

Ganglion cysts, foreign bodies and vascular malformations are some of the most common causes of a palpable mass in the pediatric hand. There are other rarer tumors, such as digital fibromas, which are unique to the pediatric population. Malignant tumors are exceedingly rare. An awareness of both the common and unusual tumors seen in the pediatric population is essential for the hand surgeon evaluating these patients.
