Intraosseous ganglion of the cuboid bone.

Abstract

Intraosseous ganglia are benign cystic lesions usually located in the end of long bones, especially the distal tibia. Patients typically present with mild, localized, aching discomfort in a joint that is aggravated by weightbearing. Pathogenesis is currently unknown with the literature suggesting many valid theories. Surgical excision and curettage is the treatment of choice. A case of a ganglion cyst within a cuboid bone is presented along with a review of the literature and discussion of operative technique.
