Ganglion cysts are lumps that most commonly develop in the wrist. They’re typically round or oval and are filled with a jelly-like fluid. Ganglion cysts are noncancerous lumps that most commonly develop along the tendons or joints of your wrists or hands. They also may occur in the ankles and feet.
A ganglion cyst is treatable in many ways, some of which are; Aspiration. In this procedure, your doctor uses a needle to drain the fluid from the cyst. The cyst may recur.
Surgery. This may be an option if other approaches haven’t worked. During this procedure, the doctor removes the cyst and the stalk that attaches it to the joint or tendon. Rarely, the surgery can injure the surrounding nerves, blood vessels or tendons. And the cyst can recur, even after surgery.
