Ganglion of the hip: report of five cases.
Ganglion of the hip is a rare cause of inguinal swelling. Ultrasound examination and MRI lead to the correct diagnosis. Resection should be considered for large ganglia and in cases with impairment of neighboring structures. Conservative treatment may suffice in small and asymptomatic ganglia.
