Treatment Options for Ganglion Cysts

A ganglion cyst is an abnormal fluid filled mass, or lump, arising from a tendon or joint, commonly occurring in the hand or wrist but can occur in the foot or ankle. Treatment is not required for a ganglion cyst unless it causes pain or restricts movement. Nonsurgical treatment includes aspiration to remove the fluid from the cyst or injection with a substance that destroys the cyst. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
