Abstract:
Subperiosteal Ganglion is a rare cystic lession, although ganglions are frequently found in close proximities to joints and tendon sheaths. It is characterized by a thin-walled cyst containing tenacious mucoid fluid and by the pedicle attached to periosteum. This report describes a middle-aged man with a subperiosteal ganglion which occured beneath the periosteam of the tibia. Presenting symptoms were pain and circumscribed swelling over the anteromedial aspect of the right proximal tibia.
