We present a case of juxta-articular myxoma of the hand in a 63-year-old man with an enlarging mass over the palmar radial aspect of the index metacarpophalangeal joint. Usually seen in men, this benign soft tissue tumour is normally found around large joints. To our knowledge this is the first reported case in the hand.
