FINAL DIAGNOSE CASE-11
Radiology Case -11(FB and INSTA )Post
RADIOLOGY REPORT
Final diagnose - Ganglion Cyst
Patient Name:........
Age/Gender: 50 Y/F
Study: CT Wrist with F. A. (Plain)
CLINICAL HISTORY:
Patient presents with a painless, gradually enlarging swelling over the right wrist. Clinical suspicion of cystic lesion.
TECHNIQUE:
Non-contrast CT scan of the right wrist was performed in axial, sagittal, and coronal planes.
FINDINGS:-
- A well-defined, hypodense lesion is seen along the dorsal aspect of the right wrist, superficial to the extensor tendons.
- The lesion is homogenous, non-enhancing, and shows fluid attenuation (~20-30 HU).
- No calcification or internal septations noted.
- No bony erosions, periosteal reaction, or adjacent soft tissue infiltration.
- Surrounding fat planes are preserved.
- The underlying carpal bones and distal radius/ulna appear normal.
- No evidence of joint effusion or intra-articular extension.
IMPRESSION:
Findings are suggestive of a ganglion cyst arising from the dorsal aspect of the right wrist. Features are typical for a benign, mucin-filled cystic lesion originating from the joint capsule or tendon sheath.
Differential diagnosis:
- Synovial cyst (less likely)
- Giant cell tumor of tendon sheath (less likely due to absence of solid components)
RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Ultrasound evaluation may further characterize cystic nature and guide aspiration if required.
- MRI may be considered if symptomatic or for surgical planning.
- Clinical correlation and orthopedic or surgical consultation advised for management.
