These cysts are more common in adults than in children. Sometimes, epidermal cysts are called sebaceous cysts. This is not correct because the contents of the two types of cysts are different. Epidermal cysts are filled with dead skin cells, while true sebaceous cysts are filled with yellowish oily material.
Volar retinacular cysts are tender masses (ganglion cysts) that typically present near the base of the finger on the palm side (volar), and, although benign, can cause pain, especially when gripping an object.
A ganglion is a collection of neuronal bodies found in the voluntary and autonomic branches of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Ganglia can be thought of as synaptic relay stations between neurons. The information enters the ganglia, excites the neuron in the ganglia and then exits.
What causes ganglion cysts? A ganglion cyst starts when the fluid leaks out of a joint or tendon tunnel and forms a swelling beneath the skin. The cause of the leak is generally unknown, but may be due to trauma or underlying arthritis.
Ganglion cysts are very common benign fluid-filled cysts that usually occur near joints or tendons. Mucous cysts are just a particular type of ganglion cysts that occur around the finger joint around the base of the fingernails.
Mucoid cysts are fluid-filled sacs that usually develop on or near the joints of the fingers, although the toes can be affected. Typically benign, they feel like firm, rubbery lumps, and are usually not painful unless they grow large enough to put pressure on nerves.
Mucous cysts are small, fluid-filled sacs that form on the fingers and usually develop in patients 50 to 70 years of age. The mucous cyst usually appears at the joint nearest to the fingernail, called the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint, and can be found on the thumb or on any of the other fingers.
