A member asked:
Is it possible that a cyst on the tendon of my foot can be cancer?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possible, not likely: It is possible, but not very likely. Cysts are typically benign. Cysts that arise off tendon sheaths or joints, called ganglion cysts, are benign and commonly seen.

Yes: But not likely. Most commonly, this would be a ganglion cyst.
