Abstract

Although intraosseous ganglion of the carpal bones is an uncommon lesion, it can be a cause of chronic wrist pain. Especially, pathologic fracture as complication of idiopathic intraosseous ganglion of the lunate is extremely rare. We report a rare case of idiopathic intraosseous ganglion with pathologic fracture of the lunate that was successfully treated by curettage and autogenous cancellous bone graft.
