Scand J Plast Reconstr Surg Hand Surg. 2004;38(6):379-81. doi: 10.1080/02844310410032800.

Abstract

Intraosseous ganglions often arise in the foot and ankle but are less common within the carpal bones. We present a case of an intraosseous ganglion of the capitate bone associated with compression of the median nerve that was seen on plain radiographs and magnetic resonance images.
