case_images: Radiographs of the pelvis showed bilateral noncemented total hip arthroplasty (metal on polyethylene) with no significant soft tissue changes (Figure 1).
case_images: A preoperative right hip MRI. This is a T2 fat-sat weighted MRI axial cut showing the well-organized collection extending into the right prosthesis.

case_images: T1- and T2-weighted images (Figure 2). The yield of this imaging technique was extremely limited by the artifacts coming from the prosthesis.
case_images: A per-operative view of the rice-like body cyst. The rice-like body cyst discovered in the per-operative setting. The rice-like bodies are seen bathing in a clear fluid. An encapsulated cyst.

case_images: This well contoured mass is opened revealing a collection of 250 mL of "rice-like" bodies measuring 1 cm each bathing in a clear fluid (Figure 3).
case_images: Anatomopathological view of the operative material. Anatomopathological view of the material sent to pathology showing a fibrotic material with a cystic wall with fibrinous projections in the cystic cavity compatible with rice-like bodies.

case_images: The microscopic study of the cystic collection and its content revealed a fibrotic synovial nature of cystic wall with fibrinous projections in the cystic cavity similar to the foreign objects qualified as "rice-like" bodies (Figure 4).
