Hand tumors are usually rare and there is not much literature about series of cases. We have studied a series of 110 cases. Hand tumors do consists of both benign and malignant cases. We studied series of 110 cases at Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Hubli and Mysore Medical College & Research Institute, Mysore. We retrospectively reviewed the records of 110 patients who underwent double ray amputations at our center over few years: few had amputations of the fourth and fifth rays and others amputation of the second and third rays. Mean age at surgery was 34 years (range, 10–45 years), and minimum follow up was 64 months (mean, 98 months; range, 64–136 months). Some patients had high-grade soft tissue sarcomas of the hand, synovial sarcomas, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, and undifferentiated sarcoma. No patients had detectable metastases at surgery.Introduction
