Abstract
The first reported case of a periosteal ganglion to be documented by computerized tomography is presented. The lesion was located on the shaft of the tibia and was unrelated to ligamentous and joint structures. A review of the literature reveals that the most common site for this lesion is the upper leg, as noted in our case; for that reason, periosteal ganglion should be included in the differential diagnosis of any soft tissue lesion in this location. CT may be more useful than plain films to demonstrate periosteal ganglion when cortical erosion is absent.
