About Ganglion cyst.

A ganglion cyst is a benign, mucin-filled soft tissue swelling that arises from an adjacent joint capsule, ligament, or tendon sheath within the musculoskeletal system.

It most frequently affects young adults—predominantly females—and typically develops along the dorsal aspect of the wrist or the fingers, though it can occur in the ankles and feet.

Pathophysiologically, the lesion consists of a fibrous, paucicellular pseudocapsule lacking a true epithelial or synovial lining, filled with high-viscosity fluid rich in hyaluronic acid and glucosamine.

Clinically, ganglion cysts present as smooth, transilluminating, round or oval subcutaneous nodules that may fluctuate in size, remain painless, or cause localized discomfort and mechanical impingement on adjacent nerves or tendons.
