Abstract

We encountered a patient with intratendinous ganglion which developed in the extensor digitorum communis tendon. Although its developmental mechanism is unclear, synovitis is considered the cause. For treatment, it may be necessary to prepare for tendon transfer and tendon grafting in consideration of the risk of tendon injury.
