Discussion

The mixed tumor should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses of soft tissue tumors of the hand. The rarity of this tumor has not enabled prediction of the possible outcome after resection. Because there are reports of local recurrence and malignant transformation, complete resection with appropriate follow-up of the patients should be warranted.

Diagnosis
