Abstract

Rice bodies in wrist ganglia are highly suggestive of tuberculous tenosynovitis. The surgeon should be aware of the significance of these free corpuscles when performing wrist ganglia excision so that the diagnosis of tubercular tenosynovitis is not overlooked. These fibrinous corpuscles should be differentiated from the loose cartilaginous bodies of inflammatory arthritis.
