description Ganglion cysts usually occur around the wrist. Occasionally, they can also occur around the shoulder in the spinoglenoid and suprascapular notches. Rarely they can be found on the long head of biceps as it traverses the glenohumeral joint. Such lesions are usually diagnosed on MRI and might need minor surgery. We present the case of a young athlete with a rare location of ganglion cyst, successfully diagnosed and managed non-invasively by using sonography. This represents a time and cost-conscious approach as compared to traditional methods.
