title: Ischiogluteal bursitis: a report of three cases with MR findings.
abstract: Ischiogluteal bursitis is an uncommon disorder which can be confused with neoplastic conditions in the buttock. Three cases of ischiogluteal bursitis in a 57-year-old man, a 73-year-old woman and a 73-year-old man are presented. All patients presented with a gradually increasing, painful buttock mass. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a soft tissue mass around the ischial tuberosity and showed various features in the three cases. Two patients underwent excision of the lesion, which was histologically diagnosed as ischiogluteal bursitis. One patient was conservatively treated and the symptoms gradually decreased. MRI was very useful in diagnosing and detecting the lesion. Ischiogluteal bursitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a buttock mass.
