TLDR
The radiological features and the important issues necessary in the diagnostic approach of subpubic cartilaginous cysts were discussed and definitive diagnosis of all the cases was confirmed by excisional biopsy.
Abstract
Subpubic cartilaginous cysts are rare cystic lesions that have been radiologically identified only in recent years, and the our understanding of the cautions to be observed in the diagnostic approach and the radiologic characteristics is still incomplete. The medical literature search revealed three reported cases of a subpubic cartilaginous cyst diagnosed histopathologically and one case that was suggested by radiological findings. Definitive diagnosis of all the cases was confirmed by excisional biopsy. This report discusses the radiological features and the important issues necessary in the diagnostic approach of subpubic cartilaginous cysts.

Sub-pubic cartilaginous cyst--diagnostic utility of CT-guided contrast injection.

TL;DR: This report is the first to illustrate the diagnostic utility of CT-guided contrast injection into the cyst to diagnose sub-pubic cartilaginous cyst and help to prevent excessive morbidity from wide local excision of what may be assumed to be a sarcoma.

Subpubic cartilaginous cyst: report of two cases.

TL;DR: Two cases of an unusual type of subpubic cystic mass occurring in postmenopausal women are reported, formed by fibrocartilaginous tissue with extensive cystic degenerative changes and appear to be related to and perhaps originating from the periarticular tissues of the symphysis pubis.

Gas-filled parasymphyseal pubic cyst associated with degenerative joint disease

J.-P. Martel, +1 more

TL;DR: It is hypothesize that the gas within the parasymphyseal cystic mass arose from a vacuum phenomenon in the pubic symphysis, with subsequent extrusion of gas from the joint into the cyst itself.

Pseudo-synovial cyst arising at the pubic bone region and forming a large femoral-inguinal mass.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the femoral-inguinal mass presented with rheumatoid arthritis was not a true synovial cyst but can be called a pseudo-synovial Cyst arising at the pubic bone region.
