Abstract

The term "ganglion" was given by Hippocrates to designate a knot of tissue filled with mucin. A ganglion may be defined as a cystic benign tumor filled with a mucoid material usually surrounded by a thin wall and occurring in the region of the capsule and connective tissue of joints and tendon sheaths. The regions of the wrist, ankle, and knee and the volar regions of the fingers and hand are most frequently affected. The authors experienced a case of ganglion which had occurred at anteromedial aspect of right hip joint and had been connected with hip joint by cord like band.
