Ganglion Cysts Arising from a Canine Stifle Joint

[摘要] References(8)A 10-year-old, neutered male Labrador retriever presented with progressive lefthind lameness. Ultrasonography revealed large, subcutaneous, ovoid cysts around the stiflejoint. Radiographic and computed tomographic images revealed periosteal reaction of thedistal femur. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed a large cyst that was hypointense inT1-weighted images, hyperintense in T2-weighted images and had a thin lining that wasenhanced by intravenous gadonium injection. The cyst communicated with the joint cavityand other small cysts around the joint. Histopathology of an excisional biopsy specimenled to diagnosis of ganglion cyst. This report provides MR images of a ganglion cyst in acanine stifle.
