Abstract

Objective: We describe the sonographic imaging characteristics of ankle ganglia with pathologic correlation in 10 patients.

Conclusion: Foot and ankle ganglia exhibit a spectrum of sonographic appearances from round and completely anechoic masses to hypoechoic, multilobulated, multiseptated masses with dependent debris. All the ganglionic cysts examined in our study showed posterior acoustic enhancement without solid nodules on sonography.
