[The intraosseous ganglion. The differential diagnosis of pain in the forefoot].
The intraosseous ganglion is a rare benign cystic lesion of bone which is frequently located in close association with the articular cartilage of the distal metaphysis of long bones. In many cases, it is clinically silent but it may cause persistent pain. The commonest location is at the ankle. It appears radiographically as a well-demarcated circular or oval radiotranslucent defect surrounded by a thin margin of sclerotic bone. Treatment consists of curettage and bone grafting.
