Abstract

Subperiosteal ganglion is a cyst that develops from periosteum with cortical erosion. There have been several case reports and most common location is the tibia. Only seven cases of subperiosteal ganglion of the upper extremity have been reported. We report a case of subperiosteal ganglion at distal radius without communication of the wrist joint in a 41-year-old woman. Excision of the cyst and adjacent periosteum were performed without evidence of recurrence.
