My 18 daughter was diagnosed with a bone cyst in the scaphoid from an MRI on recent visit from a followup injury 10 months ago. The hand surgeon said the radiology report indicated that the cyst didn t look sinister like cancer but that he wanted to refer her to a hand specialist due to her age and since the bone so important in wrist function. She had fallen on the wrist about 10 months ago while playing volleyball. Her initial appointment after the fall did identify the small cyst but the 2 doctors who initially saw her didn t seem concerned, however the cyst has since doubled in size and she is experiencing a lot of pain. Should I be concerned about the growth of the cyst and it being something other that a simple cyst? Thanks!
Hi, She needs surgical intervention for the scaphoid cyst. The cyst has to be curated, and bone grafting should be done. Visit a hand surgeon for the same. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
