    Summary

    A pediatric trigger finger case in a 14-year-old child presented with extension locking. Surgical removal of a superficialis tendon tumor resolved the condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Hand Surgery
    • Musculoskeletal Tumors

    Background:

    • Trigger finger, or stenosing tenosynovitis, typically affects adults but can occur in children.
    • Pediatric trigger finger is often idiopathic or congenital, with fewer reported cases linked to specific masses.
    • Understanding the etiology of pediatric trigger finger is crucial for appropriate management.

    Observation:

    • A 14-year-old child presented with a trigger finger characterized by painful locking in the extended position.
    • The locking was persistent and significantly impacted the child's daily activities.
    • Clinical examination suggested a mechanical obstruction within the flexor tendon sheath.

    Findings:

    • Intraoperative findings revealed a tumor originating from the flexor digitorum superficialis tendon.
    • Histopathological analysis confirmed the nature of the tumor (details not provided in abstract).
    • Complete excision of the tumor was achieved during the surgical procedure.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a rare cause of pediatric trigger finger: a tendon tumor.
    • Surgical intervention for tumor removal can effectively treat trigger finger in pediatric patients.
    • Further research into the incidence and characteristics of tendon tumors causing trigger finger in children is warranted.
