Extensor digitorum brevis manus (EDBM) muscles are accessory dorsal hand muscles
that are present in 1%-3% of the population. These muscles are not commonly
symptomatic, but they can occasionally cause pain and discomfort and may be
misdiagnosed as tenosynovitis or a ganglion cyst. In this case,
we describe an
appropriate workup of dorsal hand masses and myalgia that are suspected to be
related to EDBM muscles.
The patient's symptoms were controlled with injections
of botulinum toxin into the EDMB muscle belly, which allowed the patient to be
relatively pain free for a considerable amount of time and avoid surgery.
