Lipoma is the most common benign tumour in hand. Lipoma in hand of size more than 5 cm is classified as Giant Lipoma. Lipoma of larger sizes is rare in hand because of accessibility and lesser subcutaneous tissues. Large lipoma interferes in the hand functions. Lipoma in dominant hand is usually noted early and gets operated. This case is of 65 year old female patient who reported with the swelling in right hand for past 25 years. The size of the lipoma was big and asymptomatic till the presentation. The swelling was investigated and surgically removed which was diagnosed histopatholoically as Intermuscular Thenar Lipoma.
