Abstract

Ganglion cysts of the shoulder are rare, and the pathogenesis is similar to that of meniscal cysts. We present details of two cases of isolated ganglion cyst of shoulder which were treated arthroscopically. Both patients following 1 year after the surgery, complained of nonspecific shoulder pain and magnetic resonance imaging revealed new SLAP lesion which was treated arthroscopically.
