Abstract
Acute calcific tendinitis is rare in hand and digit, especially in children. We describe a rare case of acute calcific tendinitis of the thumb [extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon] in a 10-year-old boy. Plain radiographs showed a calcium deposit in the EPL tendon. Conservative therapy completely resolved all symptoms in 1 week. The calcium deposit shown on plain radiographs became smaller and completely disappeared within 6 weeks.Entities:
