title: Ganglion cyst of the foot treated with electroacupuncture: A case report.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present the clinical management of a ganglion cyst presenting on the dorsolateral aspect of the foot.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 45-year-old female cyclist complaining of ganglion cyst following training period.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Patient was treated with high-frequency electroacupuncture in four consecutive sessions over four weeks, and reported resolution of the cyst following therapeutic intervention.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Ganglion cysts of the foot are relatively rare connective tissue tumours with variable treatment approaches. Electroacupuncture may be a novel and non-invasive conservative approach for the treatment of ganglion cysts. Further evaluation of the efficacy of such treatment is warranted.
