We studied the practicality of issuing a cytologic diagnosis of myxoma/juxta-articular myxoid lesion/ganglion (MJG) by reviewing all fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy specimens of soft tissue masses in our files with diagnoses of myxoma, myxoid cyst, myxoid lesion, ganglion, or ganglion cyst. The control group was soft tissue aspirates with abundant myxoid stroma. Of 39 cases with a cytologic...

Ganglion Cysts are tense smooth fluctuant cystic and transilluminant swellings commonly found on dorsum of wrist at scapholunate articulation and may involve volar aspect of wrist, tendon sheaths and interphalangeal joints . Our study aims to compare efficacy and recurrence rates with triamcinolone and hyaluronidase using the single puncture technique . This prospective observational study was ...

We report a patient with a subperiosteal ganglion cyst of the tibia which was imaged by radiography, arthrography, CT and MRI. The images were correlated with the arthroscopic surgical and histological findings. Spiculated formation of periosteal new bone on plain radiographs led to the initial suspicion of a malignant tumour. Demonstration of the cystic nature of the tumour using cross-section...

We report a very rare case of intraosseous ganglion cyst of the capitate in a 54-year-old female who complained of a painful right wrist mass for 1 year. Computed tomography study showed an expansile osteolytic lesion with sclerotic margin and thinning of the cortex. Combined soft tissue ganglion cyst was also noted at operation and confirmed by pathologic study. The case was treated by a new m...

A 59-year-old man with knee arthritis suddenly developed left posterior thigh pain and complete paralysis of his foot. EMG/nerve conduction studies localized the lesion to the distal sciatic nerve in the thigh (absent motor units from the short head of biceps femoris but normal vastus lateralis). Imaging demonstrated an intraneural ganglion cyst in the tibial nerve extending up to the sciatic n...

Intraosseous ganglion cyst of the carpal bones represents a rare cause of wrist pain. We report a case of a 42 year-old, right-handed female, who presented with pain of the right wrist following a fall on the palm of the hand. Clinical study revealed a moderate swelling over the mid-section of the palmar face and pain through extreme ranges of motion of the wrist. Plain radiographs and CT-scan ...
