❕Noticed a lump near your wrist, hand, or finger?
Ganglion cysts are among the most common benign lumps affecting the hand and wrist. They form when fluid leaks from a joint or tendon sheath, creating a visible swelling beneath the skin. While they are not cancerous, they can cause discomfort or restrict movement depending on their size and position.
Some ganglion cysts resolve on their own, but others may benefit from treatment – including aspiration or surgical removal.
If you have a lump you are unsure about, a specialist assessment can provide reassurance and guide the most appropriate next step.
