Abstract
We present a case of forearm soft tissue mass caused by an accessory muscle , distal and deep to flexor carpi ulnaris muscle. Imaging studies, mainly m agnetic resonance and ultrasound, allow a specific diagnosis, and obviate u nnecessary surgery. In this case, the symptoms associated with ulnar compre ssion led to surgery and confirmed the preoperative diagnosis.
