What are the types of ganglions?
Ganglion Cyst
Most ganglion cysts appear on the wrist, but a significant number also occur in the foot, usually on the top. The term ganglion means “knot,” which describes these irregular, multi-walled, mobile masses underneath the skin.
The cause of ganglion cysts is not known. One theory suggests that trauma causes the tissue of the joint to break down, forming small cysts that then join into a larger, more obvious mass. The most likely theory involves a flaw in the joint capsule or tendon sheath that allows the joint tissue to bulge out.

A ganglion cyst is a common, benign (noncancerous), fluid-filled lump found on joints or tendons. Although you can get them near any joint, 60 to 70 percent of ganglion cysts develop on the front or back of the wrist. Feet, fingers, and areas where you had a tendon or joint injury are the next most common areas.

Ganglion cysts are among the most common benign soft-tissue masses. Although they most often occur on the wrist, they also frequently develop on the foot—usually on the top, but elsewhere as well. Ganglion cysts vary in size, may get smaller and larger and may even disappear completely, only to return later.
Although they can form anywhere on the foot, they commonly occur on the top. The size may range from that of a pea to a golf ball. The cyst may appear round and be soft or very hard. Beneath the skin, a ganglion cyst looks like a balloon on a stalk, and it may move freely beneath the skin if a person pushes it.

A ganglion cyst, or a synovial cyst, also known as Gideon's Disease, a Bible Cyst, or a Bible Bump, is a non-neoplastic soft tissue lump that may occur in any joint, but most often occurs on, around, or near joints and tendons in the hands or feet. These cysts are caused by leakage of fluid from the joint into the surrounding tissue.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code M67.472 and a single ICD9 code, 727.42 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
