Primary neoplasia
- Rare
- Synoviomas
- Synoviosarcomas
- Mass must have connection with the joints to be diagnosed as such
Extension neoplasia
- From nearby osteosarcomas and marrow tumours
Metastatic neoplasia
- Occasionally from lymphosarcoma, carcinoma of prostate and mammary glands - may extend to lumbar vertebrae from regional (dorsolumbar) lymph nodes
Ganglion cysts
- Usually in close proximity to joints and tendon sheaths
- Extremely rare in veterinary medicine c.f. humans
- No consensus as to genesis
- Cysts contain mucinous/yellow fluid
- More about ganglion cysts
