“…Intraosseous ganglia are rare and commonly located in the tibia, fibula, humerus, ulna, radius, carpal and tarsal bones, acetabulum, and scapular bone [ 1 , 8 – 11 ]. The pathophysiology of intraosseous ganglia remains unclear, but it has been suggested that mechanical stress or trauma, synovial herniation, mucoid degeneration, and intramedullary metaplasia of mesenchymal cells may be the main causes [ 1 , 12 , 13 ].…”

Intraosseous ganglion cyst mimicking chondrosarcoma on MRI: a case report

et al. 2022

Background The intraosseous ganglia is a benign cyst, rarely locate in the olecranon process. As intraosseous ganglia can mimic malignant bone tumor, computed tomography (CT) is important for diagnosis even when magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggests malignant bone tumor, such as chondrosarcoma. Case presentation In this paper, we report a 42-year-old woman with intraosseous ganglia in the olecranon process of the ulna. She complained pain in right elbow for 3 weeks. MRI revealed an intraosseous mass which initially diagnosed as chondrosarcoma. However, followed computed tomography (CT) demonstrated scattered intralesional gas and no underlying mineralization, and we can exclude chondrosarcoma from diagnosis. Conclusions The intraosseous ganglia can mimic bone tumor in MRI; therefore, CT is essential for accurate characterization of bone tumor. Even if MR imaging strongly suggests chondrosarcoma of the bone, CT should be performed as additional study.

“…37 Histologically, they are similar to the soft tissue ganglion cyst. 38 Two patients (1.3%) presented with an intraosseous ganglion cyst, and both were treated with curettage with allograft bone packing. The lesions were in the metacarpal of the thumb and in the proximal phalanx of the middle finger.…”

Background: Benign tumors of the hand present in a wide array of histological subtypes and compose most of the bony tissue tumors in the hand. This study evaluates the characteristics and treatment of benign bone tumors in light of one institution’s experience. Methods: Histologically confirmed benign tumors of the hand were retrospectively identified using International Classification of Diseases codes from 1992 to 2015. A medical chart review was conducted to collect patient characteristics and tumor epidemiology and treatment. Results: A total of 155 benign bone tumors were identified. The median age of patients at the time of surgery was 39.9 ± 12.8 years. All bone tumors were located in the digits, and most were treated by intralesional curettage (n = 118, 76%). Pathologic fractures occurred in 79 bone tumors (51%). Conclusion: Enchondromas (n = 118, 76%) were the most common bone tumor in this series, whereas giant cell tumors were the most destructive and also had the highest recurrence rate (40%). Awareness of tumor features may help physicians with diagnosis, and awareness of recurrence rates is important when counseling patients.
