A member asked:
Hello i was wondering i have a ganglion cyst on my wrist is it from me having lupus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Lupus is an autoimmune disorder with many variations of presentation, but wrist ganglion is not one of them. Ganglions are out-pouching or herniation of a weakened portion of a joint capsule or tendon sheath. These are benign and should only be excised if they are symptomatic.
