title: [Ultrasonography of ganglions in the extremities].
abstract: Ultrasonography of 8 cases of cystic mass in extremities (7 ganglions, 1 popliteal cyst) were reviewed and evaluated. The lesions were demonstrated as round, oval or flattened shaped masses with no echo signal. However, in most cases, there was no sign of posterior echo enhancement, which may be the effect of posterior bony structure. It seemed important to handle probe with adequate palpation, which enables examiner to get further anatomical information.
