Scaphoid Osteochondroma Mimicking Carpal Coalition

From the Cappagh Orthopaedic Hospital, Dublin, Ireland

Correspondence: Mr J. Rice, Cappagh Orthopaedic Hospital, Finglas, Dublin 9, Ireland.

We present the case of a 10-year-old girl who presented with a block to wrist abduction. Plain radiographs of the wrist suggested a coalition between the carpal bones. ACT scan, however, revealed the presence of an osteocartilaginous lesion on the distal pole of the scaphoid. This was resected and histology showed it to be an osteochondroma.
