Palmaris Longus is a small vestigial and slender muscle that arises from the medial epicondyle and from adjacent intermuscular septa. The muscle passes anterior to the flexor retinaculum and is inserted to the flexor retinaculum and palmer aponeurosis often giving a tendinous slip to thenar muscles (2,3,5). The muscle is characterized by its short belly and long tendon (2).
