Ep 157 – Ganglion cysts
Ganglion cysts, also sometimes referred to as synovial cysts, are the most common benign soft-tissue masses of the hand and wrist. These cysts arise from the synovial lining of joints or tendon sheaths and are filled with a gelatinous, mucin-rich fluid. Despite their benign nature, ganglion cysts can cause discomfort, restrict motion and cause neurovascular compression (requiring medical intervention in some cases). In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities, differential diagnoses and treatment options.
