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.
