Abstract :
Intraosseous ganglia are benign cysts that usually can be seen in
lower extremity; especially around ankle.These cysts have fewer
incidences in upper extremity, mainly around the wrist. They are
extremely rare in olecranon. These lesions are often asymptomatic.
Patient was a 75-year-old man who had trauma many years ago.
When he came to our clinic, he complained of severe pain
around his elbow that he could not do ordinary activity. He had
local tenderness in elbow and 30 degree limitation in extension.
In radiography, lytic, multiloculated lesion existed in region of
olecranon. After excisional biopsy was done, cavity was cleaned
completely with curette and was filled with autogenous bone.
At 10-year follow-up, the patient was completely asymptomatic.
Control radiograph showed cavity filled completely by bone; there
was no evidence of relapse.
