CASE We describe the case of a dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica (DEH) lesion affecting uniquely the lunate bone in a 16-year-old boy causing pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion. Surgical excision was performed, leading to resolution of primary symptoms with residual limitations in terminal wrist extension. CONCLUSIONS From our review of the literature, we believe this case to be the first report of a DEH lesion affecting solely the lunate bone. Although conservative and surgical management have both been described with DEH cases, we report a positive outcome following the excision of a symptomatic lesion.
