Presentation of a unique ganglionic cyst.
Ganglions, often referred to as ganglionic cysts or synovial cysts, are benign, fluid-filled, cystic swellings. Ganglions are often isolated in the wrist and hand, although they are not uncommon to the foot. Surprisingly, with a high rate of occurrence there has been little discussion in the literature. The authors briefly review ganglionic cysts and present an interesting case report of an unusually large ganglion in the foot.
