Abstract EN
Introduction.
Trigger finger is ten times less common than trigger thumb in infants and children and, unlike trigger thumb, may arise from a variety of underlying causes.
To our knowledge, we describe the first case of pediatric trigger finger secondary to an extraskeletal chondroma.
Case Presentation.
We report the case of an 11-year-old girl presenting with a typical history of triggering of the fourth finger, in whom a nodule attached to the flexor digitorum superficialis was found; clinical, ultrasound, and operative findings are described.
Histological analysis was diagnostic of extraskeletal chondroma, also known as chondroma of soft tissues.
Conclusion.
This is a very uncommon benign cartilaginous tumor, mostly reported in patients aged 30 to 60 years (just one pediatric extraskeletal chondroma of the hand has been described), and presentation with trigger finger has been reported just once, in a 76-year-old man.
This condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric trigger finger.
