Abstract
Soft-tissue masses in the hand are frequently due to ganglion cysts. We report a ganglion originating from a common location, the volar wrist, but presenting in a unique fashion as a thenar mass. This case helps demonstrate why ganglion cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any soft-tissue hand mass.
