It's a Ganglion.(Palmer). Compound palmer ganglion.. It is an uncommon condition characterized by a swelling in the distal part of volar aspect of wrist and communicating with another swelling over palm across the flexor retinaculum. It commonly results from tuberculous tenosynovitis.. Aspiration, and surgical intervention.
It seems to be a case of palmar ganglion. It has got some clinical importance. It may be a simple palmar ganglion. You press it if it has got any communication with the palm underneath the flexor retinaculum the it may be a compound palmar ganglion usually tuberculous origin in that case excision may rise complication. First of all rule out tuberculous origin or not then decide for excision.
Swelling appears to be palmer ganglion Adv xray for your suspicions Rx excision under LA
Ganglion, localised collection of excess synovial fluid, needs aspiration and inj. Triamcelon injection.
