Guest guest Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 I have a patient that came in recently with a few concerns. One that baffled me was bilateral soft bumps about the size of a lima bean at the base of 4th and 5th digits. He has had many different people look at it and the concensious is " means your getting old. " Any idea? Namaste Chiropractic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 It is most likely tenosynovitis that has developed into a ganglion cyst. Charlie's questioning is right on, if it is mobile and attached to a tendon this is a dead give-away for a ganglion. Yours, DR. COBY L.
