This is akward I really dont know how to word it but im going to do my best. While back about month two months ago I noticed a lump on my right wrist palm up where my pulse is never seen or heard of it im confuzed actually. Anyways people noticed and said I should get it checked out but never did and when u touched or felt it it was hard as one of my bones I pushed it n it hurt. So I dont know excatly how long it was there I say about 2-3 week and all of sudden it just disappeared. If you cant explain it n I nor anybody else I asked what would you call this doc?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
From the description provided, it could be a ganglion cyst. Ganglion cyst are quite common in wrist area and have a tendency to appear or disappear on its own.
As the lesions has subsided, I do not think there is a reason to worry. Once the lesion reappears during a course of time, you may get it examined by an orthopedician for evaluation and further management.
Hope that helped.
Take care
