Trigger wrist caused by a tumor of the tendon sheath in a teenager.
Triggering of the flexor tendons at the wrist is a rare phenomenon. It usually occurs in adult patients, and the manifestations and etiology can vary. We present a teenager with triggering and symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome caused by a fibroma of the tendon sheath originating from the flexor tendons in the carpal canal.
