Abstract:
In 2 patients, carpal tunnel syndrome was one of the presenting manifestations of a noncutaneous T cell lymphoma. Infiltration of the carpal tunnel by neoplastic T cells was proven by biopsy in both patients. In 1 case, the carpal tunnel syndrome was associated with eosinophilic fasciitis. These observations emphasize the importance of histologic examination of annular ligaments removed during surgical decompression procedures.
