We investigated the diagnostic approach to non-popliteal synovial cysts about the knee. Included were all cases that occurred at the Wilford Hall USAF Medical Center in the past 5 years. The five patients all presented with a mass about the knee. The history and physical exam placed synovial cyst high on all five differential lists. All patients had a CT scan, and the CT failed to identify the cystic nature of the mass in any of them. We conclude that the CT scan is not useful in the evaluation of suspected non-popliteal synovial cysts about the knee.
我们研究了膝关节非腘窝滑膜囊肿的诊断方法。纳入的是过去5年在美国威尔福德·霍尔空军医疗中心发生的所有病例。这5名患者均表现为膝关节处有肿块。病史和体格检查均将滑膜囊肿列为所有5例鉴别诊断的首要考虑。所有患者均进行了CT扫描，但CT未能在任何一例中识别出肿块的囊性特征。我们得出结论，CT扫描在评估疑似膝关节非腘窝滑膜囊肿时并无用处。
