Ganglion Cyst

A ganglion cyst is a common, non-cancerous lump that typically develops near joints or tendon sheaths. It may vary in size and can sometimes cause discomfort or limit movement, depending on its location.

In some cases, monitoring the cyst over time is sufficient. When treatment is required, options may include aspiration (drainage) with corticosteroid injection to reduce the size of the cyst. Surgical management may be considered in select cases, particularly when symptoms persist or recur.

If you notice a cyst or lump on your foot or ankle, a consultation can help determine the most appropriate management approach based on your symptoms and clinical findings.
