    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Hand Surgery
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Trigger finger, characterized by transient finger motion arrest, typically results from various lesions.
    • Known causes include volar plate issues, joint capsule abnormalities, metacarpal head defects, flexor tendon injuries, and loose bodies.

    Observation:

    • This case report presents a unique instance of trigger finger.
    • The triggering symptom was directly attributed to a tumor within the tendon sheath.

    Findings:

    • A tumor in the tendon sheath was identified as the cause of trigger finger.
    • This represents a previously unreported etiology for this condition.

    Implications:

    • The findings broaden the differential diagnosis for trigger finger.
    • Clinicians should consider neoplastic lesions in the tendon sheath when evaluating trigger finger cases.
