Description
  • A ganglion cyst is a fluid filled lump associated
    with a joint or tendon sheath. They most often
    occur at the back of the wrist followed by the
    front of the wrist. Onset is often over months.
    Typically there are no further symptoms.
    Occasionally pain or numbness may occur.
    Complications may include carpal tunnel syndrome.
  • The cause is unknown. The underlying mechanism is
    believed to involve an outpouching of the
    synovial membrane. Risk factors include
    gymnastics. Diagnosis is typically based on
    examination with light shining through the lesion
    being supportive. Medical imaging may be done to
    rule out other potential causes.
  • Treatment options include watchful waiting,
    splitting the affected joint, needle aspiration,
    or surgery. About half the times they resolve on
    their own. About per 10,000 people newly
    develop ganglion of the wrist or hand a year.
    They most commonly occur in young and middle aged
    females. Trying to treat the lesion by hitting it
    with a book is discourage

Signs and symptoms
  • The average size of these cysts is 2.0 cm, but
    excised cysts of more than 5 cm have been
    reported. The size of the cyst may vary over time
    and, may increase after activity.
  • Sites
  • These cysts most frequently occur around the
    dorsum of the wrist and on the fingers. A common
    site of occurrence is along the extensor carpi
    radialis brevis, as it passes over the dorsum of
    the wrist joint. Although most commonly found in
    the wrist, ganglion cysts also may occur in the
    foot.
  • Ganglion cysts are "commonly observed in
    association with the joints and tendons of the
    appendicular skeleton, with 88 'in communication
    with the multiple small joints of the hand and
    wrist' and 11 with those of the foot and ankle."
    They commonly are found near the wrist joint,
    especially at the scapho-lunate area.
  • In a 2007 study of patients in Glasgow whose foot
    lumps were being removed surgically, 39 of 101
    cases were ganglion cysts. The study replicated
    earlier findings that no ganglion cysts were
    found on the sole or heel of the foot the
    authors wrote that "Although lumps in these areas
    may be ganglia, the surgeon should probably
    consider other diagnoses in the first instance.
