Introduction: The extensor digitorum brevis manus (EDBM) is an accessory muscle of the dorsum of the hand that may appear as a painful mass. It is treated surgically, usually by excision of the muscle.
Case Report: 14-year-old male with bilateral painful masses on the dorsal aspect of his hands. Ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of EDBM. Due to the associated symptoms, decision was made to conduct surgical treatment with resection of both muscle masses.
Discussion: EDBM is an infrequent cause of wrist pain, especially in children and adolescents. Surgical treatment has proven to have a significant impact on the improvement of the symptoms suffered by these patients.
