title: [Abnormality of the palmaris longus muscle].
abstract: A compression syndrome of the median nerve in the forearm of a 16-years-old girl was caused by an atypical distal belly of the palmaris longus muscle with a tumorlike appearance. Special swimming training with so called "paddles" is thought to be the reason for the enlargement of this muscle.
