Abstract

Intraosseous ganglion is an uncommon benign tumor thought to be caused by an intramedullary metaplastic event. We recently experienced a case of intraosseous ganglion that occurred on the femoral head of a 65-year old man who complained of intermittent hip pain. Complete evaluation including bone scan, CT, MRI was done. His pain disappeared after curettage and bone graft was done on the lesion.
