The patient reported paresthesia at the dorsum of the foot and had weakened dorsiflexion of the foot compared with the contralateral side. QUESTIONS 1. What are ganglion cysts and where do they typically arise? 2. How does a ganglion cyst of the peroneus longus present? 3. What is the ...

A presumptive diagnosis of compression of the medial branch of the deep fibular nerve and of the medial dorsal cutaneous nerve in the dorsum of the foot by a ganglion cyst was made. Ultrasonography confirmed the cystic nature of the lesion and surgery allowed complete excision of a mass arising...
Ganglion cysts are the most commonly diagnosed and treated soft tissue tumor in the hand and wrist ( 1 ). They are defined as cyst-like masses closely associated with either joint or tendon sheaths that contain a mucinous or jellylike fluid. The occurrence of these masses is greater in ...
HandIntroduction Mucous cyst is the commonest soft tissue tumor in the dorsum of the distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) of the finger. We report the first case of a recurring eccrine tumor (nodular hidradenoma), mimicking a mucous/ganglion cyst, on the dorsum of the DIPJ. Case report A...
