Flexor Pollicis Longus Tendon

A case is described in which an anomalous insertion of the flexor pollicis longus tendon into the region of the carpal tunnel caused limited active flexion of the thumb in a child. This is the first reported case of this anomaly in which an apparent familial relationship has been noted, and the first reported case in the Caucasian race. Two similar cases in Japanese have been described. Abnormal insertion of a portion of the flexor pollicis longus must be included in the differential diagnosis of inadequate thumb flexion.

Flexor Pollicis Longus Tendon

A rare case of carpal tunnel syndrome due to an extra-articular synovial osteochondroma arising from the synovial sheath of the flexor pollicis longus tendon, is described. This has not been described in the literature previously. The cyst with the contained osteochondroma was excised with good relief of symptoms. The histological examination of the osteochondroma revealed another interesting and unusual feature. We would like to document a case of tenosynovial chondrometaplasia of the synovial lining of a tendon sheath. Only a few such cases have been reported in the literature.
