Ganglion on the forearm of a patient. This is a cystic swelling associated with the sheath of a tendon. The swollen area,which contains the synovial fluid that lubricates tendons and joints,may vary from the size of a pea to the size of a golf ball. A ganglion may disappear spontaneously; if it becomes painful or unsightly the fluid may be sucked out with a needle or the ganglion may be removed surgically | |
