Lower limb edema caused by a giant ganglion cyst of hip joint, rather than deep venous insufficiency or lymphedema, is unusual particularly for guiding clinical practice. In this study, we present a rare case of a 76-year-old man with a 3-month history of progressive swelling of right lower extremity and 2-month history of a known inguinal mass, which was initially thought as hemangioma by usin...

INTRODUCTION Ganglion cysts are commonly seen in wrist joints and knee joint, but intra-tendinous ganglion cysts are extremely rare. We report the first case of intratendinous ganglion cyst of semi-tendinous tendon. CASE REPORT A 4-year-old boy presented with painless soft tissue swelling over knee with no history of recent trauma. Radiograph was normal and USG showed a well-defined hypoechoi...

Peroneal intraneural ganglion cyst which manifests itself with the complaint about palpable swelling and pain around the knee laterally adjacent to fibula neck, that peroneal nerve passes through, is a pathology that can lead to neurological symptoms. For the diagnosis of peroneal intraneural ganglion cyst, which is a rare reason for drop foot, physical examination, electromyography and radiogr...

Case Presentation: A 25-year-old female was presented with a mass at volar side of the wrist and hypoesthesia at the base of thenar eminence.

In this case, we report a 60 year-old woman presented with suddenly developed lower back pain and right leg foot-drop. Lumbar Magnetic Resonance Imaging examination revealed a large cystic lesion at L5 body level. The cystic lesion was r...

Intra-articular ganglion cysts of the knee joint are rare and most frequently are an incidental finding on MRI and arthroscopy. Most of the previous studies have reported a single ganglion cyst in the knee. There have been previous reports of more than one cyst in the same knee but not in the same structure within the knee. We are reporting a case of dual ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) gangli...

A case is presented of an intraspinal extradural ganglion cyst at the L4-5 level. The clinical picture suggested a herniated nucleus pulposus at this level. A myelogram revealed a round lesion almost completely obstructing the flow of Pantopaque at the L4-5 level. A ganglion cyst with a haemorrhage into it and the surrounding tissue was removed, and surgery was followed by complete recovery.

Bilateral thoracic ganglion cysts are very rare and there is no previous case that located in bilateral intervertebral foramen compressing the L1 nerve root associated with severe radiculopathy. We report a 53 years old woman who presented with bilateral gr...
