| Abstract: | Intramuscular ganglia are rare. Most of the previously reported cases were connected with an adjacent joint. We present the
imaging findings in three patients who had intramuscular ganglia that were not connected with a joint. Magnetic resonance
showed a septated, encapsulated mass that was iso- or hypointense to muscle on T1-weighted and hyperintense on T2-weighted
images. A post-contrast T1-weighted scan in one patient showed minimal capsular enhancement. Ultrasound performed in one case
showed an encapsulated, anechoic mass.
