Numbness or weakness in fingers

🔍 Types to consider (very uncommon):

Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (benign but locally aggressive)

Epithelioid sarcoma or other soft tissue sarcomas (malignant)

🏥 When to See a Doctor

Consult a healthcare provider if your lump:

Grows quickly

Is painful or tender

Limits hand or finger movement

Changes color, bleeds, or oozes

Persists for more than 2–3 weeks

💡 Early evaluation = peace of mind. Most diagnoses are made with a physical exam + ultrasound. MRI or biopsy is only needed if something looks unusual.
