Accessory flexor carpi ulnaris: case report and review of the literature.

Most of the accessory muscles of the forearm described in the radiology literature are located either in the radial aspect of the forearm or towards the hypothenar eminence. We present an unusual case of an ulnar-sided distal forearm accessory flexor carpi ulnaris muscle presenting as a "pseudotumour" demonstrated with both ultrasound and MRI, rarely reported in the current surgical and anatomical literature. Given the location and relation to the ulnar nerve towards Guyon's canal, the accessory muscle may also predispose to distal ulnar nerve entrapment.
