  • Title: Aneurysmal bone cyst involving the lunate.
    Author: Mankin KP, Bischoff RJ, Gelberman RH, Rosenberg AE.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Br; 1995 Feb; 20(1):12-5. PubMed ID: 7759924.
    Abstract:
    Aneurysmal bone cysts are rare lesions which even more rarely involve the bones of the hand. We report a case of a cyst involving the lunate which was initially mistaken for interosseous ganglion. Due to delay in diagnosis, marked destruction of the lunate occurred, necessitating excision and scapho-capitate arthrodesis. Although rare, aneurysmal bone cysts should be included in the differential diagnosis and ruled out prior to embarking on a course of treatment.
