<\/span><\/h2>\nA digital myxoid pseudocyst is a bright papule<\/span> It is located at the end of a finger or toe, near the nail. It is called a pseudocyst because it is not surrounded by a capsule, unlike a true cyst<\/span>. Also called a myxoid cyst, a <\/span>mucous<\/span> cyst, a digitalis ganglion<\/span> cyst and a digitalis synovial<\/span> cyst.<\/p>\n<\/span>What Causes a Digital Myxoid Pseudocyst?<\/span><\/h2>\nThe cyst arises from degeneration in the connective tissue<\/span> at the top of the last segment of the finger. <\/p>\nThere seem to be two variations. The first is a form of focal<\/span> mucinosis<\/span>, a condition characterized by abnormal deposits of mucopolysaccharides (mucins) on the skin. The other variation arises from the extension of the lining of the finger joint and is due to osteoarthritis<\/span> - a type of ganglion. See pathology<\/span> of a digital myxoid pseudocyst.<\/p>\n\n

<\/span>What are the clinical features of a digital myxoid pseudocyst?<\/span><\/h2>\nThe digital pseudocyst is semi-translucent<\/span>, with a smooth and shiny surface. It is most often within one centimeter of the base of the nail. It often causes a groove in the nail. This can be up to several millimeters wide and extend the length of the nail. <\/p>\nThe pseudocyst may express sticky, gelatinous fluid (sometimes tinged with blood).<\/p>\n\n<\/span>Digital myxoid pseudocyst<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

\n- Repeatedly pressing firmly on the cyst<\/li>\n
- Squeeze its contents (make a hole with a sterile needle)<\/li>\n
- \nCryotherapy<\/span> (freezing)<\/li>\n
- \n
Steroid injection<\/li>\n
- Sclerosant injection<\/li>\n
- Surgical removal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Unfortunately, digital myxoid pseudocysts often recur, regardless of what treatment is used.<\/p>\n\n<\/span>Needle of a digital myxoid pseudocyst<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
