What are Cysts and Lumps?
Cysts and lumps are abnormal growths that can occur in various tissues of the hand, wrist, and elbow. Common types include:
- Ganglion Cysts: Noncancerous lumps that often develop along the tendons or joints of the wrists or hands.
- Epidermoid Cysts: Small, slow-growing lumps under the skin.
- Lipomas: Soft, fatty lumps that grow under the skin.
- Bone Spurs: Bony projections that develop along the edges of bones.
