The popliteal ganglion, also known as Baker's cyst, is an abnormal, fluid-filled distension of the gastrocnemius-semimembranosus bursa. These cysts rarely manifest alone and are often associated with intra-articular pathology inflammatory conditions, such osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, rheumatoid arthritis. A 60-year-old woman came to surgery clinic Dr. Sayidiman Magetan hospital complaints lu...

Lipoma is the most common soft tissue tumor but the presence of osseous component within the tumor is quite rare. Some studies show that less than 1% of lipomas were ossified. We describe the histological, radiological and diagnostic features of an ossified intramuscular lipoma. To the best of the authors' knowledge, a symptomatic ossified intramuscular lipoma without any cortical erosion and h...

Ungual cartilage ossification in the forelimb is a common finding in horses. Subtle abnormalities associated with the ungual cartilages can be difficult to identify on radiographs. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings of 22 horses (23 forelimbs) with a fracture of the distal phalanx and ossified ungual cartilage were characterized and graded. All horses had a forelimb fracture. Eleven invol...

The present study describes the morphometry of a unilateral ossified sacrotuberous ligament. It aims to discuss its Anatomical and clinical implications.The pudendal nerve, internal pudendal artery, nerve to obturator internus and coccygeal branch of inferior gluteal artery, are the important structures related to sacrotuberous ligament. An ossified sacrotuberous ligament may be an important et...

Cystic lesions around the knee are a relatively common occurrence. Several types of cysts have been reported, including synovial, bursal, and ganglion. Ganglion cysts are not lined by synovial cells. Their location is highly variable, with occurrences described in the fat pads near the tibia or femur, muscles, nerves, and arteries. Intraneural ganglia are rare nonneoplastic cysts caused by the ...

Peroneal nerve entrapment is most commonly seen in the popliteal fossa. It is rarely caused by a ganglion. Intraneural ganglia, although uncommon and seldom cause serious complications, are well recognized and most commonly affect the common peroneal (lateral popliteal) nerve. Ganglionic cysts developing in the sheath of a peripheral nerve or joint capsule may cause compression neuropathy. The ...

Painful patellar partita complicated with intraarticular ganglion cysts arising from the cruciate ligament is difficult to diagnose from the symptoms alone. In the patient reported here, knee pain was caused by patellar partita and by cysts attached anteriorly to the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). The fragment of the bipartite patella was excised, and the cysts were resected arthroscopicall...
