Synovial cysts are most frequently found about the knee. Less commonly they have been described at the shoulder, elbow, ankle, and hip joints. Synovial cysts of the shoulder are associated with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, chronic steroid use, Charcot joint disease, and long-standing rotator cuff tears. Although often asymptomatic, patients may present complaining of pain, loss of joint motion, or presence of an unexplained mass. The authors present the case of an elderly man with a very large synovial cyst presenting as an anterior chest wall mass.
滑膜囊肿最常见于膝关节周围。较少见的是，它们也在肩关节、肘关节、踝关节和髋关节被描述过。肩部滑膜囊肿与类风湿性关节炎、骨关节炎、长期使用类固醇、夏科关节病和长期肩袖撕裂有关。虽然通常无症状，但患者可能会主诉疼痛、关节活动丧失或出现不明肿块。作者报告了一例老年男性患者，其巨大的滑膜囊肿表现为前胸壁肿块。
