title: [A case of a ganglion cyst originating from the hip joint and surgical outcome].
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.
