title: [The juxtaacetabular ganglion].
abstract: A juxtaarticular ganglion (JAG) is a rare tumor-like lesion of the acetabulum, causing chronic hip disability. Due to its location, a JAG is a special form of an intraosseous ganglion. There is a lack of histological criteria to differentiate a JAG from an osteoarthritic cyst. The clinical findings of a JAG are determined by its proximity to the joint gap and its extraarticular extension. In a case report the necessary diagnostics as well as the therapeutic consequences are discussed.
