Imaging evaluation of hip capsule disorders: a comprehensive review. Skeletal Radiol 2024:10.1007/s00256-024-04766-5. [PMID: 39096373 DOI: 10.1007/s00256-024-04766-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/05/2024]
Abstract
The hip capsule and capsular ligaments play crucial roles in providing hip stability and mobility. Their role in hip pathologies is being increasingly recognized, underscoring the need for thorough imaging evaluation, which is better performed through MRI-arthrography. Various diseases affect the hip capsule directly or indirectly. Improper mechanical loading, as seen in conditions such as femoroacetabular impingement or chondrolabral pathology, can induce capsule thickening, whereas thinning and laxity of the capsule are characteristics of microinstability. Inflammatory conditions, including adhesive capsulitis of the hip, crystal deposition disease, polymyalgia rheumatica, and infections, also lead to capsular changes. Traumatic events, particularly posterior hip dislocations, cause capsule ligament disruption and may lead to hip macroinstability. Friction syndromes can lead to capsular edema due to impingement of the adjacent capsule. Hip arthroscopy can result in various postoperative findings ranging from fibrotic adhesions to focal or extensive capsule discontinuation. Although the significance of hip capsule thickness and morphology in the pathogenesis of hip diseases remains unclear, radiologists must recognize capsule alterations on imaging evaluation. These insights can aid clinicians in accurately diagnosing and effectively managing patients with hip conditions.

Preoperative Paralabral Cysts Predict More Significant Chondral Damage but Not 2-Year Functional Outcomes Following Arthroscopic Labral Repair. Arthroscopy 2024; 40:1475-1487.e1. [PMID: 37865131 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2023.10.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/23/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate whether paralabral cysts identified incidentally on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging/arthrography predict 2-year functional outcomes after arthroscopic acetabular labral repair. METHODS Prospectively collected data for patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy by a single surgeon from 2014 to 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Included patients were ≥18 years and completed baseline patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) with additional follow-up at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. Exclusion criteria were labral debridement, hip dysplasia, advanced hip osteoarthritis (Tönnis > 1), or previous ipsilateral hip surgery. Patients were stratified based on the presence of paralabral cysts identified on magnetic resonance imaging/arthrography. Primary outcomes were International Hip Outcome Tool and modified Harris Hip Score. Secondary outcomes included other PROMs and the visual analog pain scale. Outcomes were compared between cohorts using linear mixed-effects models and Fisher's exact tests. Sensitivity analyses accounted for preoperative PROMs, nonlinear improvement trajectories, and relevant baseline characteristics. RESULTS Of the 182 included hips (47.8% female; mean ± standard deviation age, 36.9 ± 11.4), 30 (16.4%) had paralabral cysts. During the 2-year study period, there were no significant differences between patients with and without paralabral cysts in terms of International Hip Outcome Tool scores (weighted difference = 1.60; 95% confidence interval [CI], -5.09, 8.28; P = .64), modified Harris Hip Scores (weighted difference = 0.56; 95% CI, -4.16, 5.28; P = .82), or any secondary outcomes (except for HOS-Sports Subscale at 3 months [mean difference = -11.85; 95% CI, -22.85, -0.84; P = .035]). Furthermore, there were no significant differences in clinically meaningful outcomes (P > .05 for all), revision rates (P > .99), or conversion to total hip arthroplasty between cohorts (P > .99). These results held across all sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS Although preoperative paralabral cysts were associated with worse cam impingement and more severe chondral damage observed intraoperatively, they did not predict 2-year functional outcomes or clinically meaningful improvements, suggesting that incidentally discovered paralabral cysts are not a contraindication for arthroscopic labral repair. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective cohort study.

[PMID: 38522307 PMCID: PMC10973812 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijscr.2024.109541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Revised: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) is a rare vascular disorder marked by occlusion stemming from the development of a cystic mass within the outer (subadventitial) layer, with a predominant impact on the popliteal artery. The significance of the case presented herein lies in shedding light on a distinct clinical manifestation involving a 40-year-old man who exhibited sporadic calf claudication during ambulation. This instance contributes to the broader understanding of CAD and its diverse clinical presentations, emphasizing the need for further exploration and awareness within the medical community. CASE PRESENTATION A 40-year-old man, with no significant past medical history, was referred to the cardiovascular department for the evaluation of a new onset of left calf pain persisting over the past three months. An arterial lower limb Doppler ultrasound was performed, revealing a focal hypoechoic image around the popliteal artery with a regular arterial wall, indicative of extrinsic compression. This resulted in significant stenosis of the popliteal artery during plantar flexion of the foot. The diagnosis of CAD of the left popliteal artery was established after limb computed tomography angiography, and a complete resection of the cyst was scheduled. The postoperative course was uneventful, with the patient experiencing relief from left calf claudication. CLINICAL DISCUSSION CAD is an uncommon vascular anomaly, representing merely 0.1 % of all vascular conditions. This condition predominantly afflicts men aged between 40 and 50 years old. The etiology of CAD remains a subject of debate, with pathological findings typically involving intramural cysts containing gelatinous material between the media and the adventitia. Surgical intervention becomes necessary when symptoms arise. CONCLUSION CAD of the popliteal artery, though rare, is a significant contributor to peripheral vascular insufficiency in young patients without typical atherosclerotic risk factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the diagnostic value of ultrasound for asymptomatic anterosuperior acetabular labral tears (ALT). METHODS From August 2018 to February 2020, a total of 64 asymptomatic volunteers (101 hips) were recruited to complete 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound examination. Among these asymptomatic volunteers, 31 were male and 33 were female, with the median age 35 (32, 39) years. Using 3.0T MRI findings as golden standard, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of ultrasound were calculated. RESULTS The results showed the presence of unilateral or bilateral ALT in 33 (51.56%) asymptomatic vo-lunteers with a total of 47 hips (46.53%). Of the 37 asymptomatic volunteers with bilateral hip MRI examination, 14 had bilateral ALT and 8 had unilateral ALT. Of the 27 asymptomatic volunteers who underwent unilateral hip MRI, 11 had ALT. Of the 33 asymptomatic volunteers with labral tears, 11 were male and 22 were female, with 30 right hips and 17 left hips. The median age was 36 (33, 40) years in the ALT group and 34 (32, 38) years in the non-ALT group. There was no significant difference in age between the two groups (P > 0.05). In the asymptomatic population, the abnormal anterosuperior acetabular labrum manifestations on ultrasound were intra-labrum cleft in 26 cases, labral heterogeneous echogenicity in 25 cases, paralabral cysts in 2 cases, and labral focal hyperechoic area in 12 cases. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy for ALT diagnosed by ultrasound were 73.53%, 67.16%, 53.19%, 83.33% and 69.31%, respectively. The cross- sectional area (CSA) of the anterosuperior acetabular labrum was 0.20 (0.15, 0.24) cm2 in this study. The labral median CSA of the ALT group and non-ALT group were 0.22 (0.17, 0.28) cm2 and 0.17 (0.14, 0.21) cm2, respectively, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The ALT are common findings in asymptomatic volunteers on MRI. Intra-labrum cleft and labral heterogeneous echogenicity are common ultrasonographic signs in asymptomatic volunteers with ALT. The labra were more swollen in the asymptomatic volunteers with ALT compared to those without ALT.

Abstract
The cyst of the canal of Nuck is an extremely rare female hydrocele, usually occurring in children, but also in adult women. It is caused by pathology of the canal of Nuck, which is the female equivalent to the male processus vaginalis. Due to its rarity and the lack of awareness among physicians, the cyst of the canal of Nuck is a seldom-encountered entity in clinical practice and is commonly misdiagnosed. We report on a case of cyst of the canal of Nuck in a 42-year-old woman, who presented with a painful swelling at her right groin. In addition, we conducted a review of the current available literature. This review gives an overview of the anatomy, pathology, diagnostics, and treatment of the cyst of the canal of Nuck. The aim of this review is not only to give a survey, but also to raise awareness of the cyst of the canal of Nuck and serve as a reference for medical professionals.

Abstract
We investigated the diagnostic performance of qualitative and quantitative ultrasound criteria for anterosuperior acetabular labral tears (ALTs). In all, 118 people with ALTs (120 hips; case group) and 31 asymptomatic volunteers (42 hips; control group) at Peking University Third Hospital between August 2018 and November 2019 were consecutively included. The labral cleft, labral heterogeneous echogenicity, labral plump morphology, paralabral cyst and labral focal hyperechoic area were used as the qualitative criteria. The anterosuperior labral cross-section area (CSA) was measured as the quantitative criterion. The diagnostic utility of the quantitative and qualitative criteria were explored with magnetic resonance imaging as the diagnostic gold standard. Labral heterogeneous echogenicity was the most sensitive criterion for diagnosing ALTs (up to 80.00%), and the specificity of diagnosing ALTs with paralabral cysts, labral focal hyperechoic area and subcortical cysts of the femoral head and neck was as high as 90.48%-100%. The labral CSA in the case group was 0.27 cm2 (0.21-0.39 cm2), which was significantly larger compared with the control group (0.18 cm2 [0.14-0.23 cm2]; p < 0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.802 for diagnosing ALTs according to the labral CSA. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and diagnostic accuracy of the combined qualitative criteria for diagnosing ALTs were 90.00%, 71.43%, 90.00%, 71.43% and 85.19%, respectively. Labral heterogeneous echogenicity is a sensitive criterion for diagnosing ALTs, and paralabral cysts, labral focal hyperechoic, area and subcortical cysts of the femoral head and neck are specific criteria. The CSA of the anterosuperior acetabular labrum measured by ultrasound can be used as a quantitative criterion to diagnose ALTs. The combination of labral qualitative criteria provides higher sensitivity and accuracy in diagnosing ALTs.

Abstract
Ganglion cysts of the psoas tendon are uncommon and rarely reported in the literature. Often they remain asymptomatic and are found incidentally or can be a cause of atypical groin/hip pain. We present a rare case of ganglion cyst in a child arising from the psoas tendon, causing symptomatic hip pain, which failed non-surgical treatment and eventually successfully treated with surgical excision.

Abstract
Adventitial cystic disease (ACD) is a very rare condition characterized by the accumulation of a cyst filled with gelatinous substance in the adventitia of a vessel adjacent to the joint area. The cyst usually compresses the vessel lumen, causing claudication or leg swelling. The disease usually affects the popliteal artery. However, several cases of venous ACDs particularly in the common femoral or external iliac vein have been reported. The definition, diagnosis, and optimal treatment of ACD remain controversial because of its rarity and the inconsistent use of terminology. The heterogeneity of the reported cases is more prominent in venous ACD. Herein, the accurate terminology of cysts correlated to the joint (synovial cyst, ganglion cyst, and adventitial cyst) and the pathogenesis, anatomy, and optimal therapy of venous ACD are discussed in detail to establish reporting standards for future studies.

Abstract
MR imaging is nowadays regarded as the preferred imaging modality for evaluation of soft tissue lesions. As plain radiographs are often the first step in evaluation of musculoskeletal disorders, identification of subtle soft tissue signs may be helpful to select patients who need to be referred for subsequent MR imaging. Although not very sensitive, certain plain film findings, such as intralesional calcification or gas, may allow one to make to a more specific tissue diagnosis and may obviate the need for invasive diagnostic procedures and potential harmful treatment.

Abstract
This is a case of a 77-year-old woman with a 4.0 cm gas-containing iliopsoas bursa collection in the setting of mild-to-moderate degenerative joint disease. Given the limited extent of this patient's osteoarthritis and the absence of infectious signs or symptoms, both of which are typically related to gas collections at the hip, it was difficult to determine the aetiology of the patient's gas collection, whether it was related to her pain, and how best to manage her symptoms. Even in the setting of her MRI findings, which showed the gas collection lifting the iliopsoas tendon off the bone, the gas-containing bursa ultimately appeared to be a minor component of the patient's pain and definitive treatment of her underlying joint disease with a total hip arthroplasty allowed for successful pain management. Our case report demonstrates an unusual presentation of iliopsoas bursitis with a surprising response to medical, interventional and surgical management.

Abstract
CASE A 61-year-old man presented with a 5-year history of left hip pain and a 6-month history of left groin swelling associated with hypoesthesia and proximal muscle weakness. Radiograph of the left hip showed degenerative joint disease. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large, anteriorly displaced paralabral cyst of the left hip joint. Neurophysiologic studies were corroborative of left femoral mononeuropathy. Complete excision of the cyst along with total hip replacement were performed. At 4-year follow-up, there was complete remission with resolution of symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Our experience emphasizes the importance of identifying and addressing the underlying primary pathologic disease for a satisfactory functional outcome.

METHODS Patients who received a diagnosis of FAI syndrome using plain radiography, magnetic resonance imaging or magnetic resonance arthrography, or computed tomographic arthrography from 2010 to 2015 were included in this study. The exclusion criteria were patients with arthritis (Tönnis grade 2 or greater) or dysplasia. We identified paralabral cysts and their location, size, configuration. Correlations between the type of FAI and labral tears and paralabral cysts were analyzed using the χ-square test. RESULTS Among 506 patients with FAI, paralabral cysts were found in 51 patients (55 hips) and were located anterosuperiorly in 40% of cases, posterosuperiorly in 36%, anteroinferiorly in 17%, and posteroinferiorly in 8%. We identified multilocular cysts in 60% of hips and unilocular cysts in 40%. Labral tears were radiographically found in 44 of 55 hips with paralabral cysts (80%); they were located anterosuperiorly in 59% and posterosuperiorly in 41%. Although paralabral cysts were found in the anteroinferior and posteroinferior areas, acetabular labral tears were not identified in the anteroinferior and posteroinferior areas. Classification of the type of FAI showed cam type in 14 of 55 hips (25.5%), pincer type in 16 (29%), mixed type in 7 (13%), labral tears in 15 (27%), and normal findings in 3 (5.5%). No correlation was found between the type of FAI and labral tears (P = .739) or the location of paralabral cysts (P = .228). CONCLUSIONS Paralabral cysts in patients with FAI most commonly are found in the anterosuperior area and are of the multilocular type. Although paralabral cysts in the anterosuperior and posterosuperior portions are related to labral tears, those in the anteroinferior and posteroinferior portions are not. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, diagnostic case series.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraneural ganglion cysts of the obturator nerve are rare. Our aim is to review cases of obturator intraneural ganglion cysts at our institution and those reported in the literature. METHODS We reviewed all cases evaluated by the senior author. A literature search was performed using the PubMed database and Google Scholar with the following terms: "obturator cyst," "obturator intraneural ganglion cyst," and "obturator intraneural ganglia." All cases underwent a retrospective review. Patient demographic data, including age, sex, and presenting signs and symptoms were recorded. Imaging studies were re-evaluated by 2 musculoskeletal radiologists experienced in the diagnosis of intraneural ganglion cysts. RESULTS We identified 2 cases of obturator intraneural ganglia at our institution; both were connected to the hip joint. We found 4 cases that were clearly diagnosed as intraneural ganglia in the literature, of which only 1 was recognized by the original authors as being joint connected, but based on our reinterpretation, 3 of 4 were joint connected. An additional 9 cases identified in the literature did not definitely report the nerve-cyst relationship, but based on our reinterpretation, were believed to be intraneural; 8 were joint connected. CONCLUSIONS We believe that obturator intraneural ganglion cysts adhere to the principles of the unifying articular theory. They arise from the anteromedial hip joint and extend into an articular branch and can reach the parent obturator nerve. Surgery should address the hip disease and/or the articular branch connection. Not appreciating the pathoanatomy of these cysts can lead to persistent or recurrent cysts.

Abstract
The transverse acetabular ligament is an unusual location for ganglion cysts. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature. They can be asymptomatic and represent an incidental finding or can cause an atypical pattern of hip joint/groin pain. We report a case of ganglion cyst arising from the TAL causing entrapment of the anterior branch of the obturator nerve with associated acute denervation of the abductor longus (AL), adductor brevis (AB), and gracilis muscles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Synovial cyst of the hip joint is a rare clinical condition in need of evidence-based guidelines for its diagnosis and management. Normally, synovial cyst of the hip joint requires no treatment, but when it intrudes into surrounding structures, various clinical symptoms appear. Because of its rarity, a symptomatic synovial cyst is often confounded with a tumor as a space-occupying lesion or with other diseases, depending on its various clinical presentations. Therefore, guidelines for the precise diagnosis and appropriate management for synovial cyst of the hip joint are required. METHODS We retrospectively studied 7 cases of symptomatic synovial cyst of the hip joint, some of which showed lower limb edema due to mass effect. We compared physical exam findings on presentation, imaging findings, and size and location of the cyst. RESULTS All cases were managed successfully with surgical excision. We found that, instead of the size of the cyst, the location of the cyst was an important contributor to venous compression. The recurrence rate was 0%, and some patients have significantly long follow-up of 2 years, 4 years, 6 years and 10 years, respectively. CONCLUSIONS For symptomatic synovial cyst of the hip joint, surgical excision can successfully resolve the symptoms without recurrence. This retrospective study discusses the clinical presentations, diagnostic approaches, and surgical treatment of symptomatic synovial cyst of the hip joint, hence shedding more light on the clinical management of this condition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, the diagnosis and treatment of patients with femoral vein compression from a synovial cyst of the hip joint were investigated. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted to review hospital records from March 2010 to July 2017 of patients with femoral vein compression from a synovial cyst of the hip joint. The diagnostic procedure, duplex ultrasound results, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were recorded. The method and treatment outcomes were also documented. RESULTS Fifteen patients with femoral vein compression resulting from a synovial cyst of the hip joint were identified. The mean age was 47.5 years, and nine of the patients (60%) were female. All patients had unilateral lower extremity edema. In 11 patients (73.3%), the mass in the groin area could not be palpated; 2 (13.3%) patients had venous insufficiency; and 2 (13.3%) patients had venous thrombosis. All patients received a duplex ultrasound examination, 4 (26.7%) patients received CT, and 11 (73.3%) patients received MRI. One patient received a duplex ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle aspiration; however, the cyst recurred 1 month later. The remaining 14 patients received surgical excision and had no cyst recurrence during the follow-up period (mean, 22.6 months). CONCLUSIONS Duplex ultrasound should be selected as the first choice for screening of synovial cyst of the hip joint with femoral vein compression. Moreover, it can be used as the first choice for follow-up of these patients. MRI or CT can provide more anatomic information for surgical treatment. Surgical excision of the cyst is the preferred treatment method, with a lower rate of cyst recurrence compared with needle aspiration.

Abstract
The most common types of cystic lesions around the hip joint are synovial or ganglion cysts. In rare cases, the cysts can compress adjacent structures and cause symptoms to arise. Obturator neuropathy secondary to a hip ganglion cyst is a rare phenomenon, with scarce reports on suggested treatment options. Hip arthroscopy is a potential minimally invasive treatment that has yet to be described in such cases. We present a 52-year-old male suffering from obturator neuropathy caused by an intra-pelvic ganglion cyst arising from the hip joint. Hip arthroscopy was performed for decompression of the cyst and dilation of the stalk opening. Six-month post-operative follow-up showed resolution of symptoms and complete elimination of the cyst on magnetic resonance imaging.

Abstract
Paralabral cysts are often associated with labral and other intraarticular hip pathology; MRI as well as diagnostic ultrasound can assist in diagnosis. Although often considered a coincidental finding, paralabral cysts can be a separate pain generator about the hip through compression of surrounding anatomy. They can also be initially mistaken for malignancy or other pathology by providers unfamiliar with their appearance. We present the case of an active 33-year-old female with right hip pain secondary to a large symptomatic posterior acetabular paralabral cyst with concomitant anterior labral tear. Following diagnosis on MRI, treatment included ultrasound-guided aspiration of the cyst, followed by arthroscopic anterior labral repair and separate cyst decompression from a posterior portal. The patient had complete resolution of her symptoms.

Abstract
More than 700 adventitial cystic diseases (ACDs) have been reported in the literature, with most cases affecting the popliteal artery in young men. Here, we describe our treatment and etiologic consideration of a patient who presented with an ACD of the external iliac artery, known to be an extremely rare location. On preoperative imaging, the ACD had a connection to the nearby hip joint and was treated with resection of the affected segment, including ligation of the joint connection and interposition with a prosthetic graft. The pathogenesis of ACDs is not fully understood; however, we believe that joint connections are important in their development and treatment.

Abstract
CASE We report a rare case of a dorsal synovial ganglion of the left hip causing L5 radiculopathy in a 48-year-old woman. After a 12-month history of intermittent pain in the groin, left buttock, and left lower limb, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvis revealed a 10-cm-long cystic ganglion. The lesion originated from the posterior aspect of the hip joint capsule and extended through the sciatic notch toward the L5 nerve root, causing severe nerve compression. Open resection of the ganglion via surgical hip subluxation was performed. CONCLUSION Combined presentation of symptoms attributable to intrinsic hip disease and peripheral radiculopathy should raise suspicion for a shared cause of these entities.

Abstract
Background: Synovial cysts of the hip are relatively rare lesions comparing to other joints. Patients are usually asymptomatic, but in some cases symptoms such as pain and/or compression of vessels or nerve could be present. Purpose of the study was to define clinical features and optimal management of synovial cyst of the hip joint through an accurate review of the literature. Methods: We present three consecutive cases treated with three different therapeutic strategies: surgical excision, wait-and-see and needle aspiration. An accurate review of the literature has been performed to identify patients who had been treated for synovial cyst of the hip. Results: Due to the rarity of the disease, there are no significant data in literature supporting the gold standard of treatment. Treatment of the synovial cyst depends on their size, symptoms and comorbidities. Conclusions: Most of the Authors recommend surgical treatment for symptomatic synovial cysts and needle aspiration as an option treatment in asymptomatic patients without vessel or nerve compression. In patients that referred symptoms in correspondence with the hip joint, not strictly related with radiograph findings, a CT or MRI examinations should be performed to exclude possible differential diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A rare complication of hip arthroscopy is the development of a ganglion cyst. These cysts can affect structures surrounding the hip joint. In some cases, the femoral artery may be involved, leading to claudication or a pulsatile mass that can resemble an aneurysm. CASE DESCRIPTION We present the case of a 62 year-old male who complains of 3 months of right hip pain. Workup reveals a degenerative labrum with cam impingement. After a discussion of various treatment options, the patient elected for arthroscopy to correct the impingement. An anterior capsulotomy was created to establish access to the joint. Cam decompression was indicated to address the impingement. The patient developed a recurring ganglion cyst following the procedure that was not permanently prevented with cyst aspiration. Total hip arthroplasty with ganglion cyst decompression resolved the ganglion cyst and resolved the hip pain. CONCLUSIONS This is the first case report that describes the development of a ganglion cyst following hip arthroscopy. Arthroplasty and ganglion cyst decompression in the presence of degenerative joint disease presents a viable treatment option for these cysts. Additionally, this case suggests interportal capsulotomy closure may prevent ganglion cyst development and should be considered when performing hip arthroscopy.

Abstract
Introduction Soft tissue mass following total hip arthroplasty raises several differential diagnoses not limited to infection, hematoma, wear debris, malignancy, and bursitis. Rice body formation in the hip region is an uncommon process denoting a chronic inflammation. We report here the second case of its kind in the medical literature of a wide symptomatic rice-like body cyst complicating a total hip arthroplasty. Case Presentation This is the case of an 82-year-old white female, presenting with a warm, red, and inflated groin five years after revision of right total hip arthroplasty. Surgical intervention reveals a large well circumscribed cyst containing well-organized rice-like bodies. This eventuality was never reported in differential diagnosis of hip periprosthetic soft tissue masses before. Conclusion This case report helps widening the array of the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with a slow growing soft tissue mass following total hip arthroplasty, making rice-like bodies cyst a valid one to consider.

Background As a rare cause of unilateral leg swelling, extrinsic vein compression caused by intraperitoneal, retroperitoneal, or inguinal lesions has been noted. A rare case of leg swelling as a cause of extrinsic compression of common femoral vein from a ganglion cyst in the groin is presented. Case presentation A 38 year old man was referred with a 3 week history of left leg swelling. Following a radiological diagnosis of common femoral vein compression from a cystic groin mass, he firstly underwent needle aspiration. Although the lesion became somewhat smaller, his left leg was still swollen, and he underwent surgical excision of the lesion 2 days after needle aspiration. Histopathological features of the cystic wall were consistent with those of a ganglion cyst. He was discharged from the hospital with complete improvement of the leg swelling, and has remained free from recurrence 1 year after surgery. Conclusion Femoral vein compression by a ganglion cyst in the groin is a very rare pathology; however, it should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of unilateral leg swelling. Ganglion cyst in the groin is a benign hip joint related lesion. Extrinsic compression of common femoral vein by a ganglion cyst in the groin is a rare cause of unilateral leg swelling. Surgical excision of a ganglion cyst in the groin is more curative than needle aspiration.

Abstract
In this study, we describe our diagnosis and treatment of two patients who presented with femoral vessel compression caused by a cystic lesion in the groin. One case was diagnosed as adventitial cystic disease (ACD) of the common femoral artery resulting in leg claudication and the other was diagnosed as a ganglion cyst (GC) causing femoral vein compression and unilateral leg swelling. The operative findings differed between these two cases with respect to the dissection of the cyst and femoral vessel, but the postoperative histological examination results were similar. The pathogenesis of ACD and GC is not fully understood, and further investigation is needed to delineate the exact pathology of these uncommon conditions.

Abstract
Snapping hip syndrome is an audible or palpable snap in a hip joint during movement which may be accompanied by pain or locking. It is typically seen in young athletes performing activities requiring repeated extreme movements of the hip. It may also follow a physical trauma, intramuscular injections or surgeries. There are two main forms of snapping hip: extra- or intra-articular. Extra-articular snapping hip is elicited by an abnormal movement of specific tendons and is divided into two forms: internal and external. The internal form of snapping hip syndrome is attributed to an abrupt movement of an iliopsoas tendon against an iliopectineal eminence. Radiograph results in patients with this form of snapping tend to be normal. Dynamic ultrasound is the gold standard diagnostic technique in both forms of extra-articular snapping hip syndrome. The objective of the following text is to describe a step-by-step dynamic ultrasonography examination in internal extra-articular snapping hip syndrome in accordance to the proposed checklist protocol. To evaluate abrupt movement of an involved tendon, the patient needs to perform specific provocation tests during the examination. With its real-time imaging capabilities, dynamic ultrasonography detects the exact mechanism of the abnormal tendon friction during hip movement in a noninvasive way. It also allows for a diagnosis of additional hip tissue changes which may be causing the pain.

Abstract
Ganglion and synovial cysts occur mainly, but not necessarily, in association with osteoarthritis. Presentation varies widely, ranging from small, incidentally detected, asymptomatic lesions to giant ones that might be the source of symptoms, either due to their compressive effect on adjacent structures or due to complications, such as rupture. On magnetic resonance imaging they are typically presented as smooth, well-circumscribed, thin-walled, unilocular, and homogeneously T2-hyperintense lesions. An identifiable thin stalk communicating to the joint space is not infrequent. Nevertheless, depending on their age, anatomic location, and eventual complication, they might have many distinct appearances, including septae and internal debris, which the radiologist must be familiar with in order to accurately differentiate them from worrisome cystic-like lesions. With regard to this diversity, some illustrative cases are presented.
