In one extreme case, a ganglion cyst was observed to propagate extensively via the conduit of the common peroneal nerve sheath to a location in the thigh; in such cases surgery to the proximal joint to remove the articular connection may remove the need for a riskier, more extensive surgery in the neural tissue of the thigh.

Common warts are usually found on the hands and feet, but can also occur in other areas, such as the elbows or knees. Common warts have a characteristic cauliflower-like surface and are typically slightly raised above the surrounding skin. Cutaneous HPV types can cause genital warts but are not associated with the development of cancer.
A plantar wart is a wart occurring on the bottom of the foot or toes. [5] Its color is typically similar to that of the skin. [2] Small black dots often occur on the surface. [5] One or more may occur in an area. [2] They may result in pain with pressure such that walking is difficult. [2] They are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). [2]

Warts are non-cancerous viral growths usually occurring on the hands and feet but which can also affect other locations, such as the genitals or face. [1] [3] One or many warts may appear. [3] They are distinguished from cancerous tumors as they are caused by a viral infection, such as a human papillomavirus, rather than a cancer growth. [3]
[22] [23] Over the following year, Bajandar underwent at least 25 surgeries for the removal of the warts—weighing more than 5 kg (11 lb)—from his hands, feet, and legs. [24] [25] [26] Bajandar’s condition returned after he interrupted treatments in May 2018. His doctors requested that he return for treatment many times.
Because the TVC's entry point usually is the site of a trauma, wound or puncture in the skin (during an autopsy, for example), the most frequent site for the wart are the hands. But it can occur anywhere in the skin, such as in the sole of the feet, in the anus, and, in the case of children from developing countries, in the buttocks and knees.
