MeSH Heading: Ganglion Cysts
Tree Number(s): C04.182.347; C17.300.550.274
Unique ID: D045888
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D045888
Annotation: non-neoplastic; SYNOVIAL CYSTS is also available
Scope Note: Nodular tumor-like lesions or mucoid flesh, arising from tendon sheaths, LIGAMENTS, or JOINT CAPSULE, especially of the hands, wrists, or feet. They are not true cysts as they lack epithelial wall. They are distinguished from SYNOVIAL CYSTS by the lack of communication with a joint cavity or the SYNOVIAL MEMBRANE.
Entry Term(s): Ganglionic Cysts; Ganglions; Myxoid Cyst
