title: Ganglion cyst of the hallux: an aberrant presentation.
abstract: Ganglion cysts are benign, thin walled, fluid-filled lesions commonly occurring in the distal extremities. Although widely debated in the literature, a true, identifiable etiology has remained elusive. The authors report on a ganglion cyst with a unique presentation on the hallux, and a review of the literature.
