A ganglion occurring in the big toe of a child

We report a rare case of a ganglion occurring in the big toe of an 8-year-old boy whose chief complaint was sensory change, especially while walking. On MR image, a 20 mm × 15 mm × 12 mm sized multilobular tumor was visualized on the planter side of the right big toe. The tumor had low signal intensities on T1WI, and homogenously high signal intensities on T2WI. The tumor was removed with the tendon sheath attached to the base of the tumor. The histological examination of the removed mass confirmed the diagnosis of ganglion. No recurrence was observed at 4 years after surgery.
