“…Theories regarding the pathologic process by which ganglion cysts form continue to be debated. Mucoid degeneration was originally proposed as an etiology by Ledderhose in 1893, 4 although this theory is often attributed to Carp and Stout. 5 Ganglion cyst formation is attributed to a process of mucoid degeneration, in which an inciting event results in the breakdown of periarticular collagen into mucin.…”

Ganglion cysts represent the most common soft-tissue mass in the hand and wrist. Ganglion cysts are most commonly encountered at the dorsal or volar aspects of the wrist, although cysts may arise from the flexor tendon sheath, interphalangeal joint, and extensor tendons. Intraosseous and intraneural ganglion cysts have also been described. Diagnosis of ganglion cysts relies primarily on history and physical examination. Transillumination and aspiration of masses may be useful adjuncts to diagnosis. Imaging such as radiography and ultrasonography may be indicated to evaluate for associated conditions, such as degenerative joint disease, or to rule out a solid or heterogeneous mass. Advanced imaging such as MRI is generally reserved for patients in whom occult ganglions, intraosseous ganglions, or solid tumors, including sarcoma, remain a concern. Treatment of ganglion cysts includes observation, aspiration or puncture with possible corticosteroid injection, and surgical excision. Nonsurgical management may result in cyst resolution in over 50% of patients. Surgical excision is associated with recurrence rates of 7% to 39%. Advances in surgical techniques have allowed surgeons to conduct arthroscopic ganglion excision, with recurrence rates similar to those of open management. This study highlights the advances in diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes that have taken place over the past 2 decades for this common condition affecting the hand and wrist in the adult population.

“…Surgical excision is the recommended treatment for both ganglion and synovial cysts. Complete excision if possible is recommended since these cysts may recur [18]. In this case the patient and family chose to attempt percutaneous drainage after the first onset of findings and non-interventional treatment thereafter.…”

“…Synovial cysts frequently cause preauricular swelling and pain 3 . Other symptoms reported previously include TMJ sounds/crepitus, trismus, headache, otalgia, facial nerve palsy, dizziness or vertigo, the fullness of the ear, and tinnitus 4,5 . Although imaging examination including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered to be helpful for the diagnosis of synovial cysts, to the best of our knowledge, case reports and original papers on synovial cysts to date have focused on the symptoms and histopathological analysis of the site of the cysts except for Okochi et al 6 There are few details of imaging findings such as the location of the synovial cysts, MRI signal intensity, surrounding bone changes, and the state of the articular disc.…”

BackgroundTMJ synovial cyst with few symptoms is rare. It was detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); furthermore, we present the review that focused imaging findings.Case presentationA 48‐year‐old female complained TMJ discomfort during mouth opening. MRI showed a lesion that exhibited high signal intensity on T2‐weighted images behind the condylar head. The lesion was a cyst lined by synovial cells.ConclusionSynovial cysts frequently cause swelling and pain; however, some cases produce few symptoms. MRI is considered useful for diagnosing synovial cysts. All TMJ pathogenesis should be addressed during TMJ surgery to prevent recurrence of synovial cysts.
