Aberrant accessory muscles are rare entities in the hand. The extensor digitorum brevis manus (EDBM) muscle is amongst them and may be seen in association with dorsal ganglion cysts. Distinguishing an EDBM muscle is relevant in the diagnostic consideration of a dorsal ganglion in order to facilitate and guide its proper treatment. To date, there have been only few reports of an EDBM in association with a dorsal ganglion cyst. We report our experience with an incidental intraoperative finding of an intramuscular EDBM dorsal ganglion cyst and follow with a literature review and guide to management.

Abstract Background The most common soft tissue tumor of the hand is the dorsal ganglion cyst and often is an indication for surgical excision. The differential diagnoses for dorsal hand masses include but are not limited to tenosynovitis, epidermoid cyst, abscess, lipoma, xanthoma, rheumatoid nodule, tophus, carpal boss, myositis ossificans, foreign body granuloma, neoplasm, and anomalous muscles. Case Description Our case report reflects the latter, a 33-year-old female who presented with a 3-year history of a symptomatic dorsal ganglion cyst of her left wrist. She is a female in her 30s, with progressive, worsening pain on wrist extension. Intraoperatively, it was determined that an anomalous extensor digitorum brevis manus (EDBM) was present and may have contributed to her pain and was excised. Literature Review The literature is sparse with the surgical management of EDBM. This case study aims to explore algorithms for managing simultaneous EDBM with a dorsal wrist ganglion, which is clinically relevant for any hand surgeon, when faced with a similar intra-operative management situation.

A detailed description of bilateral extensor digitorum brevis manus (EDBM) present in a female cadaver is presented. The need for clinical recognition is emphasized. Prevalence, morphological variability and theories of ontogeny are reviewed. Clinical significance and possible function are discussed. Since misdiagnosis may result from the anatomical variability and lack of clinical awareness, the need for further study is emphasized.

Pseudotumors can involve soft tissue or bone, and can lead to difficulty or uncertainty in diagnosis and treatment. The authors describe bilateral hypertrophy of the belly of the extensor digitorum that simulated ganglia.
