Cystic masses of the knee: arthrographic and CT evaluation

CT imaging of the anserine bursa

“…There are numerous bursae (or potential bursae) in the area of the knee, and these are described in the imaging literature [7]. However, in the environs of the pes anserinus tendon, only the poorly defined subsartorial [3] and unnamed [8] bursae have been described.…”

A ganglion of the superior tibiofibular joint as a mucoid-cystic degeneration of unusual localization

“…Arthrography can detect cysts that communicate with the intra-articular space.

Simultaneous bilateral ganglion cysts of the anterior cruciate ligaments

“…The differential diagnoses for ganglion cysts of the ACL include pigmented villonodular synovitis, haemangioma, synovial sarcoma, synovial proliferation, myxoma, fibroma, synovial chondromatosis, meniscal cyst and aneurysm. (7)(8)(9)(10) While these disorders usually have characteristic features on MR imaging, a tissue sample for histologic examination would be helpful in confirming any diagnosis made. Arthroscopic resection is the preferred treatment, as it is associated with a low rate of recurrence.…”
