Case:
We present the case of a 73-year-old female with an acromioclavicular joint cyst associated with atypical, exquisite, progressive pain, and imaging findings concerning for neoplastic etiology. She underwent en bloc resection of the trapezium containing this cystic mass and distal clavicle. Surgical pathology demonstrated findings consistent with a large ganglion cyst without evidence of malignancy.
Conclusion:
Our case serves to emphasize the importance of stepwise evaluation and appropriate treatment of such cysts while utilizing appropriate principles of oncologic resection in cases where a neoplastic etiology is considered.
