Abstract



Purpose


The value of routine pathological evaluation of ganglion cysts is questionable considering that the pretest odds of a wrist lesion being a ganglion cyst are usually high based on physical examination and surgical findings alone. This study evaluates the necessity of routine pathological examination of specimens derived from surgical removal of wrist ganglion cysts.
