God help me but I actually found the whole ganglion cyst thing kind of fascinating.

If the ganglion cyst is not bothersome, it should be left alone.

The removal of a ganglion cyst usually requires a ganglionectomy.

What I actually have is a ganglion cyst.

I apparantly have a ganglion cyst at the base of my index finger.

Surgical treatments remain the primary option, other than doing nothing at all, for the treatment of ganglion cysts.

I had one of those ganglion cysts, the result of breaking my wrist several years earlier.

Often, this condition will be mistaken for a ganglion cyst due to its location and external appearance.

Ganglion cyst can develop independently from a joint.

Although most commonly found in the wrist, ganglion cysts may also occur in the foot.

They are most often found around the wrist joint, especially at the scapho-lunate area, which accounts for 80% of all ganglion cysts.

From their common origin at the joint or tendon, ganglion cysts can stray into a wide range of locations.

Ganglion cysts are easily diagnosed, as they are visible and pliable to touch.

Ganglion cysts can be horrible.

Arthroscopic surgery of the wrist is becoming available as an alternative to open excision of ganglion cysts.

Excised ganglion cyst may recur in 5-15% cases, usually because the cyst was not completely removed.
