MRI of wrist reveals a sharply demarcated cystic lesion splaying the ulnocarpal meniscal homologue within the prestyloid recess, between the ulnotriquetral ligament and ulnar capsule. The adjacent pisimetacarpal ligament is thickened. Marrow edema is seen suggesting reactionary osteitis at pisiform.
