A ganglion cyst of the temporomandibular joint is a benign lesion that may present as mass on anterior wall external auditory canal and should be differentiated from other skull base pathology prior to management.

Ganglion cysts are lesions resulting from the myxoid degeneration of the connective tissue associated with joint capsules and tendon sheaths. Most common around the wrist joint, ganglion cysts may be found elsewhere in the body, including in and around the knee joint. Uncommonly, ganglion cysts can present intramuscularly. Previous reports document the existence of intramuscular ganglia, often ...

Ganglion cyst is a relatively common lesion resulting from mucoid, cystic degeneration of soft tissues adjacent to a joint space. Aspiration of cyst contents has been increasingly advocated as a diagnostic and, in some instances, therapeutic modality. We report the fine-needle aspiration cytologic (FNAC) findings from seven cases of ganglion cyst. These include the aspiration of thick, gelatino...

INTRODUCTION Suprascapular nerve neuropathy secondary to ganglion cyst impingement has increasingly been found to be a cause of shoulder pain. CLINICAL PICTURE We present 2 patients who complained of dull, poorly localised shoulder pain, which worsened with overhead activities. Magnetic resonance imaging showed ganglion cysts in the spinoglenoid notch. TREATMENT Both patients failed conserv...

OBJECTIVE To present the clinical management of a ganglion cyst presenting on the dorsolateral aspect of the foot. CLINICAL FEATURES A 45-year-old female cyclist complaining of ganglion cyst following training period. INTERVENTION AND OUTCOME Patient was treated with high-frequency electroacupuncture in four consecutive sessions over four weeks, and reported resolution of the cyst following...

Ganglion cysts are tumor-like lesions in the soft tissues, generated by mucoid degeneration of the joint capsule, tendon or tendon sheaths on the dorsum of hand, wrist and foot. However, an intratendinous origin for a ganglion cyst is extremely rare. During dissection of the popliteal fossa, a cyst of 2.5 cm×2 cm×0.5 cm was observed in the tendon of right semimembranosus, 3.5 cm above the inser...

  Ganglion cysts are the most common wrist tumors, and 60 -70% originate dorsally from the scapholunate interval.  Ossification of these lesions is exceedingly rare, with only one such lesion located in the finger reported in the literature. We present a case of an ossified dorsal wrist ganglion in a 68-year-old woman.  

Background: Ganglion is a common cystic swelling around wrist presenting in outdoor department, clinical examination sufficient for making diagnosis of simple cyst, cosmesis and pain are main complain. Treatment includes aspiration with or without injections but has high recurrence rate, surgical excision low rate being invasive there numerous complications should be warrant depending on patien...
