  • Figure 1. (a) Doppler ultrasonography (DU) shows a well-defined, echo-free, cystic mass in the right inguinal region. (b) Color doppler flow image shows that the cystic mass obviously compresses the common femoral vein (CFV) and narrows its lumen. (c) DU image after the operation, shows the enlarged iliopsoas bursa has almost been excised and there is a slight echogenic structure (white arrow) in the deep layer communicating to the hip joint space. (d) Contrast-enhanced ultrasound reveals that the deep synovial tissue (white arrow) appears isoechoic and no obvious mural thrombus can be observed in the CFV
  • Figure 2. Coronal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvis shows a well-defined, cystic mass (red arrows) with hypointense on T1-weighted image (a) and hyperintense on T2-weighted image (b). Coronal (c) and axical (d) contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) show a hypodense, well-defined cystic mass (blue arrows) and its cystic wall exhibits a slight enhancement., indicating an iliopsoas bursitis and compressing the CFV
  • Figure 3. Intraoperative images show that the right CFV (blue arrow) is close to the iliopsoas bursa (white arrow) (a) and there is a large amount of yellow jellylike materials (asterisk) in the bursa (b), respectively
