A ganglion cyst of the wrist is a type of swelling, which refers to a benign mass containing jelly-like mucus that occurs near the joint capsule or tendon sheath. It is mostly unilocular but can also be multilocular. Ganglion cysts are not cancerous and will not spread, and although they may increase in size, they will not spread to other parts of the body. The symptoms of wrist ganglion cyst are obvious. There will be slight soreness in the affected area. When the cyst fluid increases, it will become hard and tender. If the affected area is in the wrist, it will be accompanied by wrist weakness, discomfort or soreness, radiating pain, and in severe cases, it will cause certain functional impairment to the patient.
