28-year-old male with left foot chronic pain with weightbearing. Evaluate for left foot metatarsal or cuboid stress fracture. There is a 1 cm ossicle adjacent to the base of the fifth metatarsal that may represent an old ununited fracture, but we see no edema within the bone marrow of the metatarsals or bones of the midfoot to indicate a stress fracture. There is a lobulated focus of fluid signal intensity dorsal to the cuboid that is approximately 2 cm in the longitudinal dimension and approximately 8 x 11 mm in its greatest transverse dimension, likely representing a ganglion. Please note that this study was not protocoled for detailed evaluation of the ligaments and tendons, but we see no gross abnormalities.
1. Ossicle adjacent to the base of the fifth may represent an old ununited fracture, but we see no findings to suggest a stress fracture.2. Ganglion adjacent to the cuboid as described above.
