Description: Ganglia are the commonest lumps referred to the Foot and Ankle Service. The commonest sites are the dorsolateral aspect of the foot; a few are related to the great toe or the ankle. They are commoner in women, with 55-83% reported in different series. They may occur at any age; the average age is about 40 years, slightly older than in the wrist.
The aetiology and pathogenesis of ganglia remains a controversy unencumbered by evidence.
