A 40-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a painful right knee. Conventional radiography and a CT-scan coincidentally found an asymptomatic intraosseous ganglion. The patient was treated conservatively, with success. Intraosseous ganglia are benign lesions of the metaphyseal area of the long bones. Treatment of asymptomatic lesions is not necessarily unless cortical bone is involved.
