Abstract

Primary aneurysmal bone cyst of the capitate is a rare disorder and it occurs commonly in the metacarpal bones. There are only three documented cases in literature of its occurrence in carpal bones. We report one such case of a 21-year-old male serving soldier, its clinical presentation, imaging findings, and treatment by curettage and bone grafting.
