True palmar aneurysm is a rare disease of the hand. Only 12 cases of true palmar aneurysm have been reported in Japan. This occurs commonly in the hypothenar region.
We experienced a 12-year-old boy who had an aneurysm of the left palmar hand successfully treated by surgery.
The clinical diagnosis was established by ultra sound. Vascular reconstruction by end to end anastomosis was performed after excision of aneurysm. Pathology revealed this was true aneurysm.
