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.
About 90% of pilar cysts occur on the scalp, with the remaining sometimes occurring on the face, trunk, and extremities. [7]: 1477 Pilar cysts are significantly more common in females, and a tendency to develop these cysts is often inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. [7]: 1477 In most cases, multiple pilar cysts appear at once.
Macrocystic have cysts greater than 2 cubic centimetres (0.12 cu in), and microcystic lymphatic malformation have cysts that are smaller than 2 cubic centimetres (0.12 cu in). [2] These malformations can occur at any age and may involve any part of the body, but 90% occur in children less than 2 years of age and involve the head and neck.

Benign cyst kidney; radiological appearances mimic renal cancer, A cyst / s ɪ s t / is a closed sac, having a distinct envelope and division compared with the nearby tissue.Hence, it is a cluster of cells that have grouped together to form a sac (like the manner in which water molecules group together to form a bubble); however, the distinguishing aspect of a cyst is that the cells forming ...
Unicameral bone cysts can be classified into two categories: active and latent. [4] An active cyst is adjacent to the epiphyseal plate and tends to grow until it fills the entire diaphysis , the shaft, of the bone; depending on the invasiveness of the cyst, it can cause a pathological fracture or even destroy the epiphyseal plate leading to the ...
Pseudocysts are like cysts, but lack epithelial or endothelial cells. Initial management consists of general supportive care. Symptoms and complications caused by pseudocysts require surgery. Computed tomography (CT) scans are used for initial imaging of cysts, and endoscopic ultrasounds are used in differentiating between cysts and pseudocysts.
