ChengAbstractGanglion cysts are benign cystic masses that occur in association with musculoskeletal structures. The aetiology of ganglion cysts is controversial; however, it is generally thought to result from myxoid degeneration of connective tissue associated with joint capsules or tendon sheaths, to which the lesions are usually attached. They may occur in any part of the extremities within muscles, menisci, tendons or bones. Hereby, we present a rare case of intra-tendinous location of a ganglion cyst of the semimembranosus tendon occurring within the tendon substance itself. To date, there have only few cases reports in the literature reviewing intra-tendinous ganglion cysts occurred in the lower limbs.中 文 摘 要腱鞘囊腫是與肌肉骨骼結構相關的良性囊性腫塊。腱鞘囊腫的病因是有爭議的 ; 然而,通常認是由與關節囊或肌腱鞘相關的結締組織的粘液樣性退變導致的,腱鞘囊腫通常附著有關節囊或腱鞘。它們可能發生在肌肉、半月板、肌腱或骨骼四肢的任何部位。因此,我們介紹一個在肌腱物質內發生的半膜肌腱腱鞘囊腫的罕見情況。迄今為止,文獻報導下肢肌腱內腱鞘囊腫只有少數的病例報告。
