Abstract

Ganglions commonly occur on the hand, wrist, knee, ankle and foot, with occasional development around the hip joint. Ganglion in the acetabular fossa is rare. We present a case of a ganglion in the acetabular fossa of the hip with treatment.

Keywords: Hip joint, Acetabular fossa, Ganglion

Figures and Tables

Fig. 1

On the (A) anteroposterior view and (B) frog-lateral view, showing the negative finding except widening of the joint space.

Fig. 2

Preoperative images (A) axial T2-weighted image shows high-signal intensity within acetabular fossa (arrow) at the hip, (B) axial T1-weighted image at the same level shows low or intermediate-signal intensity, (C) axial T2-weighted image slightly inferior to the panels A and B shows fluid extending distally within acetabular fossa, (D) axial T1-weighted image shows more distal acetabular fossa (E) coronal T2-weighted image shows a well defined lobulated contoured lesion displaying high-signal intensity (F) coronal T1-weighted image shows extent of the cyst from acetabular fossa to acetabular notch.

Fig. 3

With X-ray image intensifier, aspiration of the cyst using 18 gauge bore needle.

Fig. 4

The gelatinous content (≒3 cc) was allowed to escape through the wide bore needle.

Fig. 5

(A) Coronal T1-weighted, (B) axial T1-weighted and (C) coronal T2-weighted, (D) axial T2-weighted at 1 year after aspiration, lobulated lesion was disappeared.
