Abstract


Ganglion cysts are the most common soft tissue tumors of the hand, wrist, and foot. However, those originating from the hip joint are not so frequent. This case report presents a 36-year-old woman who complained of pain in the right groin. A diagnosis of atypical ganglion cyst of the hip was made and the lesion was surgically removed. The diagnosis was confirmed histopathologically. No complaints were observed after a follow-up period of 18 months.
