Symptomatic palmaris longus muscle variation with MRI and surgical correlation: report of a single case

P Bencteux et al. Surg Radiol Anat. 2001.

Abstract

A young woman presented with a painful soft tissue swelling of the anterior aspect of the distal forearm. MRI revealed a hypertrophied reversed palmaris longus muscle confirmed by surgery, which also showed a second insertion to the flexor carpi radialis tendon. Variants of the palmaris longus muscle are discussed.
