Article Abstract

We present a case report and literature review of the ultrasound (US) and magentic resonance imaging (MRI) features of an intratendinous ganglion originating from the long head of the biceps tendon. Intratendinous ganglia are very rare entities and intratendinous ganglion of the long head of the biceps tendon has only been described once. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report presenting the sonographic features of an intratendinous ganglion originating from the long head of the biceps tendon.

Background: A synovial cyst is a herniation of synovial tissue through a joint capsule, often mistaken for a ganglion cyst. The key distinctions are that synovial cysts have a synovial cell lining, while a ganglion cyst is delineated by dense fibrous connective tissue. Typically found near joints, synovial cysts are associated with conditions like osteoarthritis, prevalent in females aged 20 to 50.

Synovial or ganglion cysts are the most common soft tissue tumors of the wrist and hand and can arise from joints or tendons. Intratendinous synovial cysts, in contrast, are rare and their pathogenesis is still a matter of debate. The treatment of synovial cysts of articular origin using arthroscopy is commonly used with good results.

An intratendinous ganglion cyst is a very rare benign lesion with an unknown etiology. The clinical diagnosis can be difficult as patients may have mild symptoms or impaired hand functionality. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging can differentiate a ganglion cyst from other soft-tissue tumors and tumor-like lesions and provide excellent information on the location of an intratendinous lesion to schedule surgical treatment.

Ganglion cysts in the knee region can manifest as anterior knee pain. Unlike synovial cysts, these lesions lack synovial epithelial lining and occur secondary to mucoid degeneration of connective tissue because, often in response to chronic irritation and repetitive traumas. However, an intratendinous location is a rare finding.
