Tumors & Cysts of the Hand in Bangalore

Tumor and Cyst Treatment of the Hand by Dr. Dharmesh JB in Bangalore

Swellings in the hand or wrist can be caused by cysts, benign tumors, or rarely malignant lesions. These may lead to pain, restricted movement, numbness, weakness, or cosmetic concerns. At Dr. Dharmesh JB’s Clinic in Bangalore, we provide expert evaluation and treatment for tumors and cysts of the hand with a focus on safe removal and preservation of hand function.

Treatment is planned carefully to protect important structures such as nerves, tendons, joints, and blood vessels. Wherever required, imaging and biopsy-based evaluation are used to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate surgical management.

What Are Hand Tumors & Cysts?

Hand tumors can arise from soft tissue, tendon sheath, nerves, or skin and may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Cysts are typically fluid-filled sacs that often develop near joints or tendon sheaths. Early diagnosis and timely treatment help prevent complications, recurrence, and long-term functional problems.

Tumors & Cysts We Treat

Nerve Tumor Excision (Schwannoma, Neurofibroma)

Some swellings arise from peripheral nerves and may cause pain, tingling, numbness, or sensitivity when touched. Common examples include schwannomas and neurofibromas. Nerve tumor excision is performed using meticulous technique to remove the tumor while preserving nerve fibers as much as possible, helping reduce symptoms and protect hand sensation and movement.

Ganglion Cyst Excision

Ganglion cysts are among the most common swellings in the wrist and hand. They may cause a visible lump, discomfort with wrist movement, or pressure symptoms. If the cyst is painful, recurrent, or limiting daily activities, ganglion cyst excision may be recommended. Surgical removal addresses the cyst and its stalk/root to help reduce recurrence.

Benign and Malignant Lesions of the Hand

Hand lesions can include benign growths such as lipomas, giant cell tumors of tendon sheath, and other soft tissue masses. In rare cases, swellings may be suspicious for malignancy. We provide a structured approach including clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy when required, followed by appropriate surgical excision. The aim is to remove the lesion safely while preserving hand function and ensuring proper further management when malignancy is detected.
