Abstract

Sesamoid bone disorders are rare and usually are a result of trauma or degenerative causes. Tumors of the sesamoid bones of the hand are encountered less frequently. We report a case of an aneurysmal bone cyst of the radial index sesamoid of the hand. The tumor was treated successfully by sesamoid bone resection.
