Pseudoaneurysms (PAs) of the radial artery are common following percutaneous cardiac
catheterization. Ganglion cysts (GCs) are also a commonly identified entity in patients with history
of trauma, osteoarthritis or inflammatory joint diseases. It can be challenging to differentiate a GC
from a PA of the radial artery if the ganglion is located adjacent to the radial artery, especially when
the medical history is suspicious. We herein present a rare case of a GC in the wrist simulating an
iatrogenic PA of the radial artery in an elderly patient who had undergone to a recent diagnostic
cardiac catheterization at the same site. Clinicians should be aware of the diagnostic techniques for
the study of superficial lesions of the wrist in order to recognize the possible pathologies in the
differential diagnosis
