Wrists, ankles, feet: Ganglions are benign outpouches of joint fluid usually found on the wrists , feet and ankles, where there is a lot of repetitive stress and motion. (they can be found elsewhere also). Hey are usually soft, gelly -like in consistency. When drained, ganglion fluid is a yellow - clear thick liquid that looks like honey. Many other lumps can grow in these regions so get checked out.

Arms and legs mostly: They are fluid containing structures, with joint fluid and linning, they develop because of congenital or aquired weaknesses in the capsules of joints or tendon sheaths.
