title: Sonographic appearance of a cartilaginous cyst from the symphysis pubis mimicking a mass in the urinary bladder.
abstract: A suprapubic cartilaginous cyst from the symphysis pubis is a rare lesion, which may be asymptomatic or cause symptoms such as urinary retention and pelvic pain. It is thought to be secondary to degenerative changes in the symphysis pubis and usually occurs in multiparous women. We report the case of a suprapubic cartilaginous cyst in a 76-year-old asymptomatic woman, which mimicked a bladder mass on ultrasonography.
