Ganglion - what does this mean

Ganglion is a common condition caused by a fluid-filled cyst that forms around the joints or tendons of the body. it is believed to be caused by a structural defect in the joint capsule or tendon sheath, which causes the joint fluid to leak out and form a cyst. it is usually painless, but can be tender if pressed.

What happens during the disease - ganglion

Ganglion is a benign tumor of the joints or tendons that is caused by an accumulation of synovial fluid in the joint capsule or tendon sheath. this fluid accumulation is thought to occur due to a disruption of the normal balance between production and absorption of the fluid, resulting in an increase in pressure within the joint or tendon sheath. this increased pressure can cause the capsule or sheath to stretch and form a cyst, which can grow over time and cause pain, swelling, and decreased range of motion.
