Abstract
Synovial hemangiomas in the hands are very rare. We present a 14-year-old girl who had a rapidly recurrent tenosynovial hemangioma at the volar aspect of the proximal interphalangeal joint of her left ring finger with pain on motion and numbness over the fingertip. There are no earlier reports in the literature of synovial hemangioma found distal to A2 pulley. Its benign property and rarity may lead to inappropriate excision and recurrence. Complete excision with the involved tendon sheath is recommended.
