Abstract
Ganglion cysts emanating from intraosseous bones are common pathological entities in routine practice.1–3 Intraosseous ganglion cysts occur at any site and age, are common in the acetabulum and tibia, and often remain asymptomatic for lengthy times. Because most such cysts occur at the ends of the long bones or juxtacortical area of major joints, intraosseous ganglion cysts may be frequently discovered incidentally when joint pain is claimed for some symptomatic events.1,4,5 The
size and extension within the intramedullary area may vary, and the bony cortex and/or articular cartilage surface is often injured secondary to the large ganglion cyst, in association with pain around the lesion. Because intraosseous ganglion cysts are identified incidentally, the formation and development processes of an intraosseous ganglion cyst have not been reported in the literature, although most physicians are familiar with the clinical entity.
