| Abstract |
| Abstract A 54-year-old woman complained of
a painful, swollen, and clicking left wrist for 1 year. She had
an 8-year history of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), treated
with oral prednisolone. Flexion and extension of all fingers were
difficult to initiate on wrist extension, and movement was accompanied
by a palpable click at the wrist. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
and tenography revealed the expanded sheath of the flexor tendons
and well-defined round free bodies known as rice bodies. Synovectomy
and excision of rice bodies resulted in complete disappearance
of swelling and triggering of the wrist. |
