Ganglions are benign cysts that are found throughout the body, typically near a joint capsule, tendon or tendon sheath. Ganglions are more common among women than men. The typical person presenting with a ganglion is in their 3rd to 6th decade of life. However, ganglions have been reported in people between 10 years and 80 years of age. The average size is around 3 cm, but ganglion cysts up to ...

Background: Intraosseous ganglia (IG) are solitary, osteolytic lesion juxta-articular in the epiphyses of long bones. The origin of articular cysts is controversial and is not recognized well. Methods: From 2006 to 2011 in Shafa Orthopedic Hospital we identified 7 cases with final diagnosis of intraosseous ganglion cyst in medial condyle of tibia. We surveyed their medical documents and images ...

Ganglion cysts are common lesions that are most often found around the joints of the hands and feet. Ganglia around the distal femur usually occur within the synovial membrane or tendon sheath, but rarely within muscles. Several cases of intramuscular ganglions in the hand and wrist have been reported, but a ganglion cyst in the quadriceps muscle has rarely been addressed in studies. In this re...

INTRODUCTION Femoral nerve compression due to a cystic lesion around the hip joint is rare and only a few cases have been described in the literature. Among these, true ganglion cysts are even more rare. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 57-year-old woman with femoral nerve compression caused by a true ganglion cyst of the hip joint. CONCLUSION A high index of suspicion is required ...

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ganglionic cyst is an uncommon entity and only a few have been reported in the literature. TMJ ganglion within the external auditory canal presenting clinically as a fluctuating cystic lesion has never been reported. Here, we present a unique case of such a lesion together with otoscopic and radiological images as well as provide a descriptive review of TMJ ganglio...

INTRODUCTION Intra-articular ganglion cysts of the knee joint are rare occurrences. They are usually encountered as incidental findings in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or in arthroscopy. They may originate from both the cruciate ligaments and the menisci, from the popliteus tendon and alar folds, infrapatellar fat pad of Hoffa, and subchondral bone cysts. Those arising from the Hoffa's fat...
