At Mayo Clinic Healthcare in central London, our orthopaedic specialists assess and treat ganglion cysts. If you have noticed a lump on your wrist, hand or foot, our team can help determine whether it is a ganglion cyst and recommend treatment based on your symptoms and lifestyle.

Ganglion cysts are common, noncancerous lumps that develop near joints or tendons. Many are painless. Some can cause discomfort, affect movement or press on nearby nerves. An early assessment can help confirm the diagnosis, check whether another condition could be causing the lump and guide the next steps in your care.
