Abstract

Ganglion cysts are the most common soft-tissue tumors of the hand. They are rarely found in specific anatomic structures such as the nerve, bone, and tendon. Intratendinous form of ganglion cyst is occasionally found in the hand. Only 10 cases in English papers and 7 cases in domestic papers on ganglion cysts in extensor digitorum tendons have been reported since its introduction in 1985. This study reports 2 cases of intratendinous ganglion cysts arising from the second and fourth extensor digitorum tendons and discusses general features and surgical plans for this entity.
