A case of tumour localized in the distal forearm is described. CT imaging of the lesion mimicked a malignancy because of it's heterogeneous structure. Primary intended for open diagnostic biopsy, intraoperatively a lesion was recognized as a polycystic ganglion growing from the wrist joint. The tumour was resected completely and histopathology confirmed its benign nature. Authors touch the diagnostic difficulties in atypical clinical presentations of the ganglions and when they mimic a malignancy at imaging.
