  2. Ganglion cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganglion_cyst

    In one extreme case, a ganglion cyst was observed to propagate extensively via the conduit of the common peroneal nerve sheath to a location in the thigh; in such cases surgery to the proximal joint to remove the articular connection may remove the need for a riskier, more extensive surgery in the neural tissue of the thigh. [19] The cysts may ...

    In some cases cysts may develop all over the body. The cysts are mostly small (2–20 mm) but they may be several centimetres in diameter. They tend to be soft to firm semi-translucent bumps, and contain an oily, yellow liquid. Sometimes a small central punctum can be identified and they may contain one or more hairs (eruptive vellus hair cysts).

  6. Pyogenic granuloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyogenic_granuloma

    The name "pyogenic granuloma" is misleading, as it is neither pyogenic or a true granuloma. Rather, it is a capillary hemangioma of lobular subtype, which is why such a lesion is prone to bleeding. [5] It is also not truly pyogenic (pus-producing), as the cause is hormonal or traumatic and has no association with infection or pus production.

  7. Tinea cruris - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinea_cruris

    Typically, over the upper inner thighs, there is an intensely itchy red raised rash with a scaly well-defined curved border. [3] [4] It is often associated with athlete's foot and fungal nail infections, excessive sweating, and sharing of infected towels or sports clothing. [4] [5] [6] It is uncommon in children. [4]

  8. Bone cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_cyst

    The simple bone cyst is a common, benign, fluid-containing lesion, most commonly found in the metaphysis of long bones, typically the proximal humerus or femur. Pathologic fractures are common, often with minor trauma. These cysts typically resolve after skeletal maturity and are not typically associated with bone tumors. The cause is unknown.

    Clinically, pilomatricomas present as a subcutaneous nodule or cyst with unremarkable overlying epidermis that can range in size from 0.5 to 3.0 cm, but the largest reported case was 24 cm. [4] Presentation
