Ganglion cysts originating from the sternoclavicular joint in children have not been previously reported. In this study, 5 children who presented with a small mass over the anterior aspect of the sternoclavicular joint were evaluated and treated. Only 1 patient was symptomatic. A ganglion cyst was suspected in each case and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging in 3 patients and ultrasound in one patient. Excisional biopsy was performed in 3 patients and the diagnosis of a ganglion cyst confirmed histopathologically. No patient has had a recurrence. Observation of asymptomatic cystic lesions that arise in the sternoclavicular location is recommended.
儿童起源于胸锁关节的腱鞘囊肿此前未见报道。本研究对5例胸锁关节前方出现小肿块的儿童进行了评估和治疗。仅1例患者有症状。每例均怀疑为腱鞘囊肿,3例经磁共振成像确诊,1例经超声确诊。3例患者进行了切除活检,组织病理学确诊为腱鞘囊肿。无患者复发。建议对胸锁部位出现的无症状囊性病变进行观察。
