title: An anomalous muscle mimicking a dorso-radial ganglion as a cause of radial wrist pain.
abstract: We report an abnormal muscle on the radial aspect of the wrist, which presented clinically as a ganglion and radial wrist pain. Existence of muscles in the first compartment has been accounted earlier, however its atypical presentation advocates its inclusion in the differential diagnosis of a dorso-radial ganglion and wrist pain.
