Cyst of the wrist: Maybe a ganglion cyst. Orthopedic surgeons specialize on treatment if it is a gonglion cyst.

See your doctor: Ganglion cysts are non-cancerous tumors that frequently occur on the wrist. A general practitioner or pediatrician can usually determine what this is and might suggest seeing a surgeon if it needs to be removed.
