Abstract
Tendons of extensor muscles are the major constituents in the dorsum of the human hand. Additional muscle in the dorsum of hand is a topic of interest for anatomists, radiologists and clinicians. This additional muscle can mimic various clinical conditions. Moreover these additional muscles are of importance from evolutionary aspect. An additional muscle, extensor medii proprius was observed during routine dissection of 60 year old male cadaver. Details of the muscle and its significance are discussed in the article.
