Isolated unilateral absence of lunate is an extremely rare condition with only one such case reported in English literature so far. The rarity of this condition can lead to diagnostic dilemma, especially if patient has an old history of trauma or surgery around the wrist, leading to unnecessary intervention and difficulty in ensuring a good surgical outcome. We present such a case and discuss the clinical pointers to the diagnosis of this condition. Level of Evidence: Level V (Therapeutic).
