Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
Dear, If I were your family Doctor for this case of recurrent ganglion cyst, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1. a new ganglion cyst or partially removed cyst!
2. The second possibility is of some post-OP collection in the site! Could be synovial fluid or thin pus!
3. The last possibility is of a new cyst-like condition might be sebaceous cyst or some other cysts like bursa!
I suggest you to go for an FNAC and ultrasound of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns and please see your surgeon first!
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
