Twenty-eight ganglion cysts in 21 patients were diagnosed by fine needle aspiration (FNA) in the Cytopathology Service of The George Washington University Medical Center from January 1979 to December 1984. Twenty-four of these were aspirated by a pathologist. One patient had two ganglions. Seven of the 21 patients had recurrences and six were reaspirated. In five of those patients the cysts never attained their original size or interfered with function. Follow-up ranged from three to 71 months. Based upon our experience, we believe that FNA is a simple, fast, effective, nontraumatic, inexpensive method of treating ganglion cysts.
1979年1月至1984年12月期间，乔治·华盛顿大学医学中心细胞病理学服务部通过细针穿刺抽吸术（FNA）诊断出21例患者的28个腱鞘囊肿。其中24例由病理学家进行抽吸。1例患者有两个腱鞘囊肿。21例患者中有7例复发，6例再次进行抽吸。在这些患者中，有5例囊肿未恢复到原来大小，也未影响功能。随访时间为3至71个月。根据我们的经验，我们认为细针穿刺抽吸术是一种简单、快速、有效、无创、廉价的腱鞘囊肿治疗方法。
