Ganglion cysts are common lesions that are most often found around the joints of the hands and feet. Ganglia around the distal femur usually occur within the synovial membrane or tendon sheath, but rarely within muscles. Several cases of intramuscular ganglions in the hand and wrist have been reported, but a ganglion cyst in the quadriceps muscle has rarely been addressed in studies. In this report, we present a 17-year-old patient with a painful movable mass in the intramuscular area of the quadriceps femoris that was diagnosed by ultrasound and treated by excision and biopsy.

“…Various theories have been put forward to explain the occurrence of rare Intramuscular ganglion cysts. [4][5][6] Some opinion that these are sequestration cysts formed by the seepage of joint fluid from a defect on the surface of a tendon and leading to pooling up within the intramuscular plane forming a fluid like collection or pseudocyst. These kinds of cysts have been termed intramuscular dissecting ganglion cysts.…”

Ganglion cysts (GCs) are one of the most common benign cystic lesions that commonly arise from joints of the wrist. The diagnosis is usually straightforward in these situations. Nevertheless, they have been reported to rarely arise in certain unusual anatomic locations leading to diagnostic difficulties. Here we report an atypical presentation of a ganglion cyst within the gastrocnemius muscle. To the best of our knowledge this is the second case of histologically proven intramuscular ganglion cyst presenting within the gastrocnemius muscle, to be reported in literature.

Intramuscular Cysts at the Proximal Calf: Two Case Reports and a Systematic Review of Literature

Intramuscular cysts at the proximal calf are rare; however, their etiology is diverse, making accurate diagnosis and treatment difficult. To our knowledge, there are no previous publications in literature about intramuscular cysts at the proximal calf, arising from different origins. This article describes two rare cases with intramuscular cysts. Case 1 was diagnosed as an intramuscular ganglion cyst arising from the proximal gastrocnemius medialis muscle, and arthroscopic examination as well as open cyst excision was performed. Case 2 was another type, which has never been reported in the literature. It was diagnosed as diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS), with the intramuscular cyst arising from PVNS, and only arthroscopic synovectomy was performed. The diagnoses for these cases were confirmed by histopathology. In addition, we have summarized intramuscular cysts at the proximal calf by a systematic literature review and divided them into five types based on their origin. The five types are, intramuscular cysts arising from the muscular tissue, knee joint, proximal tibiofibular joint, the neurilemma and PVNS. The treatment of intramuscular cysts varies based on their origin; hence, it is important to identify the origin.
