ABSTRACT
Wrist ganglion cysts are the most common benign soft tissue swelling in the hand and wrist. They may arise from flexor and extensor tendon sheaths, interphalangeal joints, wrist joints, and even the neural tissues around the hand and wrist. Some volar wrist ganglion cysts arise from the radiocarpal joint and scaphotrapezial joint. It is uncommonly encountered as an incidental finding during the fixation of a distal radius fracture. In our case, a volar wrist hemorrhagic ganglion cyst was incidentally found during the fixation of the fracture. Prior to the injury, the patient had no complaints of swelling over her right wrist. The cyst was removed using microscopic magnification.
