Ganglion cysts are the most commonmass�or�lump�in the�hand. They are not cancerous and, in most cases, are harmless. They occur in various locations, but most frequently develop on the back of the�wrist. These fluid-filled cysts can quickly appear, disappear, and change size. The cause is unknown, but it is thought that small tears in the tendon membrane or joint capsule allow the contents to squeeze out. In many cases,�ganglion cysts go away�by themselves without the need for medical�treatment.�Treatment�options include surgery or draining the�cyst�with a needle.
