A ganglion cyst is a fluid-filled bump associated with a joint or tendon sheath. [3] It most often occurs at the back of the wrist, followed by the front of the wrist. [3] [4] The cause is unknown. [3] The underlying mechanism is believed to involve an outpouching of the synovial membrane. [4] Diagnosis is typically based on examination.
Enhancement patterns are highly variable, ranging from minimal to marked, and may be solid, rim, or nodular. Adjacent cord edema and syringomyelia and peritumoral cysts may be present in addition to reactive scoliosis. It is nearly impossible to differentiate ganglioglioma from other more common intramedullary neoplasms based on imaging alone.
Glomus tumors are usually solitary and small lesions. The vast majority are found in the hand, wrist, foot, and under the fingernails. [3]They are often painful, and the pain is reproduced when the lesion is placed in cold water - a history of sensitivity to cold weather is also common. [6]
Tarlov cysts are most commonly located in the S1 to S4/S5 region of the spinal canal, but can be found along any region of the spine.They usually form on the extradural components of sacrococcygeal nerve roots at the junction of dorsal root ganglion and posterior nerve roots and arise between the endoneurium and perineurium.

Lipomas are usually diagnosed clinically, although imaging (ultrasound, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging) may be utilized to assist with the diagnosis of lipomas in atypical locations. [24] The main treatment for lipomas is surgical excision, after which the tumor is examined with histopathology to confirm the diagnosis. [24]
In cysts that are actively enlarging, peripheral areas of the margin may not be present. Periapical cysts have a characteristic unilocular [8] shape on radiographs. There is also a severe border of cortication [9] between the cyst and surrounding bone. Pseudocysts, on the other hand, have a fluid filled cavity but are not lined by epithelium ...

The removal of a ganglion cyst usually requires a ganglionectomy. Such cysts usually form on the hand, foot or wrist and may cause pain or impair body function. Aspiration of the cyst and steroid injections are typically performed first. If they fail, the cyst is excised under local, regional or even general anesthetic.
