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 retinacular cyst is a small fluid-filled sac that arises from the tunnel that the tendons that bend the fingers into the palm run through. They are not tumors and are self-limited in size. Often they feel like a hard pea-sized lump at the base of the finger.

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 the most common mass or lump in the hand. They are not cancerous and, in most cases, are harmless. They occur in various locations, but most frequently develop on the back of the wrist. These fluid-filled cysts can quickly appear, disappear, and change size.
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.
A mucous cyst is a sac filled with fluid that appears on the finger, above the joint located next to the nail (the distal interphalangeal joint). The cyst can often thin the skin around the nail.
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.
Retinacular cysts are a type of small ganglion cyst found on the palm or base of the finger. The lumps develop along the tendons or joints of the wrists or hands. These noncancerous lumps are typically the size of a pea. Larger cysts can be around an inch (2.5 centimeters) in diameter.
Age & sex - Ganglion cysts most commonly occur in women between the ages of 20 and 40, but can develop in anyone. Tendon & joint injuries - Tendons or joints that have sustained injury in the past are are risk of developing ganglion cysts.
The size of a cyst can fluctuate, increasing in size when the joint is used for repetitive motions. They can be associated with an underlying tendonitis or trigger finger. These cysts are typically painless, but can cause pain, tingling, numbness or muscle weakness if they press on a nerve.
