A young female with a dorsal wrist lump was referred for an ultrasound. Clinical diagnosis was a ganglion cyst. Ultrasound showed an encapsulated, hypoechoic, avascular lesion. Surgery revealed a ganglion cyst with thick avascular material within. Histopathology confirmed the clinical and surgical diagnosis.
