title: Scaphoid osteochondroma mimicking carpal coalition.
abstract: 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. A CT 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.
