Abstract
In order to determine if fibrous flexor sheath ganglia had any histological features that could distinguish them from other ganglia, we reviewed 50 consecutive ganglia treated by surgical excision. Of these, eight were fibrous flexor sheath ganglia. They did not have any specific features to distinguish them from the other ganglia. Furthermore, an absence of true synovial lining in them refutes the theory that they may result from synovial herniation around the A1 pulley.Keywords
