수근부의 결절종: 발생과 치료에 대한 문헌 고찰. (Korean)

Ganglion cysts are benign soft tissue tumors most commonly encountered in hand and wrist. Sixty to seventy percent of these are found in the dorsal aspect of the wrist. They are more common in the twenties to forties and in female. Its origin and pathogenesis remain unproved and there are several theories for genesis of ganglion. Non-surgical treatment is unreliable with a high recurrence rates. Open surgical excision is still golden standard treatment for wrist ganglion. Recently Arthroscopic excision has been tried to reduce unsightly scar and some complications, but still has some limitations. We reviewed the current literature available on wrist ganglion.
