Abstract

Ganglion cyst is a benign mass which is filled with gelatinous fluid, the most common soft tissue tumor in the hand and wrist.In this article, we reported a 40-year-old male who had a ganglion cystand presented with the ulnar neuropathy findings. Ultrasonographic(US) examination was performed on the patient who was resistant to thetreatment. The ganglion cyst that compresses the ulnar nerve in thewrist was detected and aspirated by ultrasound guidance. After the aspiration, there was a significant improvement in the hand functions ofthe patient who was a musician and playing guitar. Diagnosis and USguided aspiration of the wrist ganglion cyst is reliable, easy and quiteeffective with high patient satisfaction.

Özet

Ganglion kisti, el ve bilekte en sık görülen yumuşak doku tümörü yerine jelatinimsi sıvıyla dolu benign bir kitledir. Bu yazıda, 40 yaşında, ganglion kisti olan ve ulnar nöropati bulgularıyla başvuran bir erkek hasta sunuldu. Tedaviye dirençli olan hastaya, ultrasonografik (USG) inceleme yapıldı. El bileğinde, ulnar siniri sıkıştıran ganglion kisti tespit edildi ve ultrason eşliğinde aspire edildi. Aspirasyon sonrası, müzisyen olan ve gitar çalan hastanın el fonksiyonlarında önemli iyileşme oldu. El bileği ganglion kistinin tanısı ve USG eşliğinde aspirasyonu güvenilir, kolay ve yüksek hasta memnuniyetiyle oldukça etkilidir.
