Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A 56-year-old woman presented with an enlarging soft-tissue mass of the left ring finger, causing worsening range of motion in the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints. Excision of the mass was performed and a 3.5×3.5×3 cm lipoma was found displacing the digital neurovascular bundles laterally and posteriorly. Surgical pathology revealed a rare angiolipoma. This case was unusual because of the location of the mass, and the fact that it was non-tender, and larger than the typical angiolipoma presentation. Definitive identification of angiolipomas, especially those without gross vascularisation, as in this case, is often delayed until final pathology. Reporting cases of angiolipoma of the finger will increase awareness of this rare lesion and broaden the differential diagnosis to improve identification and management in future cases. We discuss a surgical approach which successfully increased range of motion of the hand and preserved neurovascular integrity.
