I have a cyst on my arm, what department do I see?

Hello, combined with your above description of the condition and your send-by-side **, your above-mentioned small subcutaneous lump may be considered to be a ganglion cyst or lipoma, my suggestion is to check a local ultrasound to determine the general nature of the tumor.

Guidance: If you are going to undergo the above examinations and are ready to undergo surgical treatment, you can go to the general surgery department of the local hospital, and ask the doctor to evaluate whether surgical resection can be considered after physical examination and medical history.

If you notice a cyst on your hand, you can first go to the Department of General Surgery. Cysts can occur in the adnexa, local expansion of the sebaceous glands, and secondary infections are also predisposed.

I think you can go to the internal medicine department, because you have a cyst, you should belong to the internal medicine department, and then you can go to the neurology department or something.

Usually in this case, you should go to the ** department of the outpatient department of the hospital, probably for surgical treatment, and at the same time, you should pay attention to it and don't touch it casually.

In fact, the diagnosis of diseases is very complicated!

The outpatient doctor may give the diagnosis and the best method in three sentences, but in fact, in the past three minutes, the doctor has already gone through the various diseases that may appear in his mind!

For the discovery of a mass in the hand, the existence of a mass is more likely, and the following mainly talks about the appearance of a mass in the hand, which may be caused by something.

Be careful: Lumps found on the hands, although most may be ganglion cysts, may be something else.

1. Ganglion cyst.

2. Tenosynovial giant cell tumor.

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor is tough to the touch and solid, so it can be distinguished by strong light irradiation between ganglion cyst and Achilles tenosynovial giant cell tumor. If the mass is transparent after bright light exposure, then a ganglion cyst is most likely.

Tenosynovial giant cell tumors tend to occur in the joints of the human fingers, and the tendons that control the flexion of the fingers are more likely to be affected, and the location of tenosynovial giant cell tumors is relatively fixed compared with ganglion cysts with better mobility.

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor is a type of benign tumor, and the best way is surgical resection, but it is easy to ** and generally does not metastasize.

3. Epidermoid cyst.

There are also called epidermal cysts or sebaceous cysts, which usually appear on the distal end of the index and middle fingers, and a central point is often visible in the center, which can dissipate spontaneously over time and can occur in various parts of the body.

4. Lipoma.

If a ganglion cyst is likened to a balloon wrapped in a packet of water, then a lipoma is a balloon wrapped in a lump of fat! It is well understood that ganglion cysts can pass through bright light, while lipomas cannot.

Lipoma can be a single or multiple, belongs to a benign soft tissue tumor of the human body, generally there will be no discomfort such as touch tenderness, if the lipoma is too large to affect the appearance, you can consider surgery to cut it!

Answer: Hello! It is necessary to go to the orthopedic department of the hospital to have a look, do a color ultrasound examination, and clarify the specific situation, which can be removed by puncture or surgery.

A cyst is a benign disease, it can grow on the surface of the human body or in the internal organs; A cyst is a cyst-like benign mass that grows in a certain organ in the body, and its contents are liquid in nature.

At present, there are three main methods for cysts:

First, it is the traditional method of incision of cysts, that is, fenestration and drainage of cysts** or peeling**. This method has a long incision, a lot of bleeding, heavy trauma, a lot of cost, and it is easy to **.

Second, it is a laparoscopic cyst, although it is only a hole, and the trauma is much smaller than the surgery, but it still needs to be hospitalized, and the cost is not small. This is a last resort.

Third, this method is to replace the knife with a needle, which is magical rather than mythical. This technique is widely used, such as the application of ultrasound interventional technology in the field of genetics, and the use of intrauterine fetal umbilical cord blood, amniotic fluid, and embryonic chorionic villus specimens under direct ultrasound vision. As we all know, the diameter of the fetal umbilical cord is very small, only 6-8mm, and it can be punctured under ultrasound guidance, and the success rate of puncture can reach 100% for cysts of a few centimeters and more than ten centimeters in size.

Since the advent of this technology, many patients with hereditary cyst diseases such as polycystic liver and polycystic kidney have avoided the pain of laparotomy.

The most worrying thing about the traditional laparotomy to cut the cyst or open the window for drainage and cyst removal is the high rate, such as polycystic kidney is a genetic disease, the root of the disease is in the gene location, and it is impossible to solve the problem with surgery. So the ** rate is as high as 60% or more.

And because the common feature of the cyst wall cells is that they are arranged in layers of columnar cells. This columnar cell grows vigorously and secretes very strongly, and it is difficult to eradicate it by surgery. As long as a little bit of cell is left, it will sprout like a seed, and the cyst will be like this**.

The new technology of ultrasound intervention** is to make up for the shortcomings of traditional incision cysts. Experienced physicians can accurately target cysts under the guidance of B-ultrasound images. The cyst is pierced with a fine needle, the fluid in the cyst is sucked out, and the cyst wall sclerosing drug is injected to destroy the vigorous secretion of columnar cells, so as to achieve the purpose of stopping the cyst**.
