In a recent article in the journal, Roger et al. describe a rare case of a tibial intraneural ganglion cyst arising from the tibiofemoral joint, rare both for the nerve and its joint of origin [1]. A recent meta-analysis revealed only 5 cases of this combination of nerve and origin, including a historic case dating back 100 years. In 2 of these cases, which were ours, the joint connection to the tibiofemoral joint was not recognized until we performed a secondary re-interpretation of the imaging studies [2]. Analysis of the case, which Roger et al. present, clarifies the connection and supports previous observations for other intraneural ganglion cysts and the unifying articular theory.
