Abstract.

Although synovial pelvic cysts are very uncommon they enter into the differential diagnosis of presacral and ovarian cysts. In the elderly male whom we report, a large cyst arose from the hip and extended during a five year period to involve the entire pelvic cavity. The cyst, which contained a large number of ”rice bodies” was excised surgically.

Résumé.

Bienque les kystes pelviens sont peu fréquents, exception faite des kystes présacraux chez l’enfant et des kystes ovariens, les kystes synoviaux doivent etre considérés comme diagnostic differenciel. Nous faisons le rapport d’un cas typique, chez lequel a été observé un volumineux kyste occupant presque toute la cavité pelvienne. Ce kyste a évolue dé façon progressive sur une période de 5 ans. La résection chirurgicale soigneuse, a mise en evidence une masse kystique d’environ 20 cm de diametre dont le contenu est fait de liquide brun sero-fibrineux avec des concretions sous forme de grains de riz.
