An illustrative case report of intraosseous ganglion cyst is presented. Intraosseous ganglion cysts are uncommon, juxta-articular, and benign. They are thought to arise from an intramedullary metaplastic event. Intraosseous ganglia are most common in middle-aged patients. They usually involve the tibia but also are located in other skeletal sites. The lesion is typically epiphyseal and appears benign. It is successfully treated with curettage and bone graft if it is symptomatic or progressively increasing in size. It is important to avoid extensive surgical procedures. Recurrence is unlikely.
