What Could Cause Persistent Swelling In Hand?
swollen right hand - 2 months. We ve ruled out clots, fractures, rheumatoid arthritis and metastatic disease (inflammatory breast carcinoma). Lymphedema therapy is not making much difference. Odd that lymphedema should creep up after 17 years. Arm not involved, just hand. Really interested in the CAUSE.

Hello,
I have studied your case.
I will advise you to MRI for better diagnosis.
Most likely it can be lipoma/lymphoma, which are soft and with some mobility, may reoccur after excision.
Do some blood investigation like CBC, CRP, and ESR to know reactivation of disease.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
