| Popis: | Ganglion cyst is a common swelling observed near joints of hands and feet, usually occurring in adult population. Ganglia are rare in the pediatric population. Additionally, sternoclavicular joint ganglia are also exceedingly rare. Diagnosis is usually based on clinical examination, radiological investigations, or fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). We hereby report a case of an 8-year-old girl who presented with a non tender, non erythematous swelling over the right sternoclavicular joint for 2 months. FNAC of the lesion was done and diagnosis of ganglion was made. The swelling disappeared completely on aspiration. The aspiration acted both as diagnostic and therapeutic modality. The patient is under follow-up for the chance of recurrence. The case illustrates the importance of keeping ganglion within the differential diagnosis for palpable subcutaneous masses, even in young children, especially when they are seen to connect to the joint. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time to report such a case from Kashmir valley. Keywords: Ganglion cyst, sternoclavicular joint, pediatric age. |
