Ganglionic Cysts

OVERVIEW

Ganglionic Cysts are fluid filled bumps which can develop adjacent to joints and tendons. These non-cancerous masses are typically round or spherical in shape and are commonly found in the foot and ankle.

Symptoms (can vary)

  • Pain with direct pressure.
  • Can cause numbness / tingling adjacent to the cyst.
  • Round mass with a ‘fluid filled’ feel.


Treatment

  • There are a variety of both clinical and surgical treatment options. Not all ganglions need to be treated surgically.
  • The primary goal of surgery to resolve a symptomatic ganglion is to excise the cyst in its entirety and identify the source.
  • The best treatment for one person is not necessarily the best for another. There are many variables we will consider when selecting the right management for you.
