Review the underlying etiology, pathological mechanisms, and clinical management options for ganglion cysts.
Examined clinical presentations and histological features associated with ganglion cyst formation.
Assessed standard orthopedic management pathways including observation, needle aspiration, and open surgical excision.
Identifies mucinous degeneration of connective tissue and joint capsule stress as primary contributors to fluid accumulation.
Demonstrates that while aspiration provides immediate decompression, surgical excision significantly reduces long-term cyst recurrence.

Clinical review reveals pathological mechanisms and treatment options for ganglion cysts, highlighting targeted surgical and conservative strategies.
