Ganglion cysts arise as outpouchings from fluid filled areas such as the fluid within the small joints of the wrist, or fluid within the sheath that surrounds the wrist tendons. When the fluid, called synovial fluid, leaks out from these spaces, it can become a cystic structure.

Well, the information you provide is limited, but a common cause can be a Ganglion cyst. Go see your primary care doc or a hand surgeon to rule out other causes and to receive treatment. If it is a simple Ganglion cyst, it usually can be drained in the office.
Is a ganglion cyst a disease?
No, it is not a "disease". You can't die from it, nor does it usually restrict activity. My cyst has been on my wrist for a few months now, & it doesn't hurt or anything. So, a cyst is really nothing to be afraid of unless you want to remove it for cosmetic reasons. I also had a friend who had a cyst on her wrist, and one day when she was lifting herself up into an attic her cyst popped. She said that she didn't even know it had popped until she looked at her wrist, she hadn't felt anything! So if a cyst does manage to "pop" on its own it won't be painful.

How do you figure out if you have cysts?
The cyst will be a bump (or a lump) that will give a little with some pushing. Cysts are commonly found near joints, sometimes developing in the spaces between joints. I have a cyst in my wrist, and I personally know somebody who has a cyst on the top of her hand and somebody who has a cyst on the side of her wrist. I have also heard of cysts being found on the foot.
