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. The ability to shine through the bump or any past decrease in size supports the diagnosis of the bump as a ganglion cyst. [4] Ganglion cysts are usually obvious upon observation.

Since the diseased area (lesion) is not encapsulated, clinical margins are difficult to define. As such, portions of the diseased tissue may be left in the foot after surgery.
