Tennis leg--a new variant of an old syndrome.
This syndrome, while common, is not well recognised in the rheumatology literature. We describe two cases, one classical and one unusual with ultrasound illustrations. The literature, from the original description in 1883, is reviewed with a focus on both the clinical and anatomical variants.
