Ganglia are cysts which frequently occur in the proximity of joints. Histopathologic examinations disclose that these formations do not originate from articular tissue, but independently of this develop from degenerating nonspecific connective tissue. By progressive myxoid decomposition of collagen fibers larger amounts of mucinous fluid accumulate, and spread the adjacent collagen fibers apart, thus forming cavities filled with thickening fluid. With further liquefaction of some interstitial septa some cysts coalesce and widen, until eventually other septa and the surrounding capsule become dense by increase of fibrocytes and thickening of the collagen bundles.
腱鞘囊肿是一种常见于关节附近的囊肿。组织病理学检查表明，这些囊肿并非起源于关节组织，而是独立地由退变的非特异性结缔组织发展而来。随着胶原纤维进行性黏液样分解，大量黏液性液体积聚，并使相邻的胶原纤维分开，从而形成充满浓稠液体的腔隙。随着一些间质间隔进一步液化，一些囊肿融合并扩大，直到最终其他间隔和周围的包膜因纤维细胞增多和胶原束增厚而变得致密。
