RESUMEN
Intraosseous ganglion cysts of the carpal bones located in the lunate are one of the rarely seen pathologic conditions. Here we present a case of the penetrating type of intraosseous ganglion cyst located in the lunate as an uncommon cause of wrist pain. The patient was successfully treated by surgical intervention. Intraosseous ganglion cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic dull wrist pain.
Los gangliones intraóseos de los huesos carpianos localizados en el semilunar, constituyen una de las condiciones patológicas más raras que puedan verse. Aquí presentamos un caso del tipo penetrante de ganglión intraóseo, localizado en el semilunar como causa poco común del dolor de muñeca. El paciente fue tratado exitosamente mediante una intervención quirúrgica. El quiste ganglionar intraóseo debe ser considerado en el diagnóstico diferencial de dolores de muñeca sordos que se han hecho sentir por mucho tiempo, y se han vuelto crónicos.
