Retinacular cysts may be small, but they can cause big frustrations. These tiny, noncancerous ganglion cysts form on the palm side of the hand at the base of the fingers—often along the flexor tendons. While many are painless, others can lead to discomfort, tingling, numbness, or even reduced grip if they press on a nerve or interfere with finger movement. They’re also commonly linked with tendon irritation like trigger finger.

If a lump in your hand is affecting your comfort or mobility, it’s worth getting it checked.
