Abstract

Knowledge of anatomical variations of the muscles is important for interpreting unusual clinical conditions. We observed the presence of an abnormal extensor indicis muscle in the right hand of an adult male cadaver. Clinically, this natomical variation may be associated with pain and swelling at the back of the hand. In these cases symptoms tend to increase due to mechanical stress and can be confused with the presence of a dorsal synovial cyst. This report will help clinicians, Surgeons, occupational and physical therapists formulate better clinical or surgical decisions when presented with a rare anatomical variation.
