“…A ganglion cyst in the supinator muscle was reported, which caused compression of the posterior interosseous nerve leading to weakness of wrist extensors [10] . Matsubara et al reported 8 cases of radial nerve palsy due to ganglions at the elbow, with majority of cases presenting no symptoms [11] . Though the cyst was in close proximity with ulnar nerve, we did not find any evidence of compressive neuropathy in our case.…”

Introduction: Ganglion cysts are benign soft tissue swellings commonly found in the wrist. The presence of these cysts in the elbow is uncommon, and few case reports have been reported for this condition at this location. These lesions can compress on the neighbouring structures or cause restriction of the joint movement. The awareness of this entity is a must, to arrive at an early diagnosis. Materials and Method: We report a patient with swelling in the anterolateral aspect of the elbow which had been causing intermittent pain for the last 13 months. The MRI revealed a multilobulated complex cystic lesion along ulnar aspect of distal arm. Results: The lesion was excised in toto, using anterolateral approach for the elbow, and sent for histopathological examination which confirmed the diagnosis of a ganglion cyst. Conclusion: Thus, due to the infrequent presentation, an awareness of this condition is necessary to prevent a delay in diagnosis and its subsequent management.

The awareness of this entity is a must, to arrive at an early diagnosis.MATERIALS AND METHOD: We report a patient with swelling in the anterolateral aspect of the elbow which had been causing intermittent pain for the last 13 months. The MRI revealed a fluid-filled cystic swelling which was communicating with the radio-capitellar joint.RESULTS: The lesion was excised in toto, using anterolateral approach for the elbow, and sent for histopathological examination which confirmed the diagnosis of a ganglion cyst.CONCLUSION: Thus, due to the infrequent presentation, an awareness of this condition is necessary to prevent a delay in diagnosis and its subsequent management.

“…Yamazaki reported 14 patients presenting with incomplete paralysis of the extensors of the wrist and fingers due to a ganglion at the elbow, located proximal to the arcade of Frohse in 13 cases and distal in 1, all causing PIN palsy [ 3 ]. Matsubara et al reported eight cases of radial nerve palsy due to ganglions at the elbow proximal to the arcade of Frohse, with compression of the deep and superficial branches seen in three cases, although paraesthesia was noted in only one of the cases, the others presenting with either no symptoms or heaviness of the elbow [ 4 ]. Bowen and Stone reported a ganglion in the supinator muscle involving compression of the posterior interosseous nerve causing an extensor weakness in the wrist [ 5 ].…”
