Abstract
Ganglion cysts are common periarticular/peritendinous masses, which are thought to form from myxoid degeneration of collagen that becomes encased by connective tissue.1 This differentiates them from synovial cysts, which are lined by synovium.2,3 The presence of numerous ganglion cysts in multiple locations is very rare and has been termed cystic ganglionosis 4.
