Abstract

Synovial and ganglion cysts are lesions that can arise around various bodily joints. Cystic lesions of the hip are rare and may present with a wide spectrum of clinical signs and symptoms that are mostly due to compression of nearby nerve and vessels. In this paper, we present the first case of a 46-year-old previously healthy female with an incidental asymptomatic synovial cyst arising from the posterior aspect of the hip joint coursing in the vicinity of the sciatic nerve, bordering it in its pelvic segment and mimicking an adnexal mass on ultrasound.
