Ganglions - Symptoms

Most of the patients are between 20 to 50 years.

There is a presence of a round or oval swelling with smooth surface and round borders.

Skin over swelling is normal.

The swelling is densely cystic and can be compressed.

It does not reflect light as many cystic swelling that is filled with water do.

They are not usually painful

Sometimes they can be pressed and the cyst flattens out, only to reappear again.
