Anyone else have one of these?

QuoteGanglion cysts are the most common soft-tissue tumors of the hand and wrist. They can occur in patients of any age, including children; approximately 15% of ganglion cysts occur in patients younger than 21 years. Seventy percent of ganglion cysts occur in patients between the second and fourth decades of life. Women are affected 3 times as often as men. No predilection exists for the right or left hand, and occupation does not appear to increase the risk of ganglion formation.



I definitely find it interesting that it's more common in women then men. The one on my hand is in the exact same position as the one in this image and about the same size and shape.
