Abstract

Intraosseous ganglion of the lunate is an uncommon lesion and cause of wrist pain, although ganglia are frequently found in close proximities to joints and tendon sheaths. A case of intraosseous ganglion of the lunate is presented. A 28-year-old man presented with 2-year history of progressive right wrist pain. No history of trauma was presented. Conservative treatments with physical therapy and anti-inflammatory medication were unsuccessful. No palpable masses were present. Wrist motion was slightly limited. Radiographic studies revealed a lucent area with a sclerotic margin with the lunate that was deformed. The patient underwent curettage of the lunate lesion and bone grafting with iliac bone.
