		A ganglion cyst is a mass of tissue that is filled with a jelly-like fluid.
		Ganglion cysts are among the most common benign soft-tissue masses.
		For example, a ganglion cyst might develop after something drops on the foot, if the foot was twisted while walking, or after too much stress was placed on a joint or tendon.

		Ganglion is a Greek word that means "a knot of tissue." Basically, a ganglion cyst is a bump or mass that forms under the skin. They can occur at any joint or tendon sheath, but most often they appear on the back of the wrist or on the fingers.
		Ganglion cysts are probably the most common lumps that occur in the hand. Sometimes they are also called synovial hernias or synovial cysts because of their relationship to the synovial cavities in the joint. But more about this in a moment.
		The ganglion cyst forms when tissues around the joint become inflamed and swells with fluid. As this happens, the balloon-like ganglion grows in the connective tissue of the joint or even in the membrane that covers the nearby tendon.

	Ganglion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is a dorsal root ganglion (DRG) from a chicken embryo (around stage of day 7) after incubation overnight in NGF growth medium stained with anti-neurofilament antibody.
		In vertebrate anatomy, a ganglion is a tissue mass that contains the dendrites and cell bodies (or "somata") of nerve cells, in most case ones belonging to the peripheral nervous system.
		In the autonomic nervous system, fibers extending from the CNS to the ganglion are known as preganglionic fibers, while those from the ganglion to the effector organ are called postganglionic fibers.
