ganglion cyst
Wrist fluid lump
A ganglion cyst is a fluid-filled lump that forms near joints or tendons, most commonly on the wrist or hand.
These benign growths develop from joint tissue and can range from pea-sized to an inch across.
They may cause discomfort or limit movement but are harmless: The doctor said my ganglion cyst didn't need treatment unless it started hurting.
