Hello,
Thanks for writing to us
A wrist ganglion cyst is a swelling that usually occurs over the back of the hand or wrist. These are benign, fluid-filled capsules. When filled with thick synovial fluid, they can feel as solid as a bone.
It is important to have this type of lump checked by your doctor to ensure it is simply a ganglion cyst.
Hope this helps you. Let me know if you have any more concern.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.
