Abstract :Ganglion cysts are cystic lesions originating from the joint capsule or tendon sheath. They are the most common type of soft tissue tumors in hand, wrist and foot. They are more frequent at the age of 30-50 and women are more likely to be affected than men. Differential diagnosis includes lipoma, fibroma, osteoma, sarcoma, tuberculosis, rheumatoid tenosynovitis and aneurysm. Although most commonly found in hand and wrist, ganglion cysts may also occur in the dorsal surface of the foot. In this study, we evaluated two cases of ganglion cyst located in the plantar surface of the toe, a localization that has rarely been encountered in the literature. Pathology results supported our diagnosis of ganglion cyst and no recurrence was observed during 6-month follow-up.
