A Fibroma of Tendon Sheath Causing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Case Report of an Atypical Clinical Presentation
Fibroma of the tendon sheath is a benign slow-growing fibrous tumor. Although rare, cases occurring in the upper extremities usually involve the fingers. It appears as a well-defined, roundor oval-shaped mass originating from the flexor tendon. Abundant fibrous stroma makes fibromas appear as a l...

| Sumario: | Fibroma of the tendon sheath is a benign slow-growing fibrous tumor. Although rare, cases occurring
in the upper extremities usually involve the fingers. It appears as a well-defined, roundor
oval-shaped mass originating from the flexor tendon. Abundant fibrous stroma makes fibromas
appear as a low intensity mass in all MRI sequences. Most of the fibromas manifest as
painless soft tissue masses. Herein, we report a case of fibroma of the tendon sheath with an
unusual clinical presentation, triggering carpal tunnel syndrome during wrist movement. |
