Volar wrist ganglion : a report of an unusual case

Abstract EN

A patient presented with wrist painless mass, the superficial branch of radial nerve was overlying the mass.

The mass was removed surgically and the numbness disappeared postoperatively.

Ganglion cyst is a very common soft tissue condition.

Its etiology remains not very well understood.

The usual size is about 1-2 cm, but some atypical cysts exist.

A comprehensive knowledge of the regional anatomy together with good preoperative diagnostic technique is essential for their safe excision particularly in those with unusual presentation.
