Un ganglión es un tumor que aparece a menudo alrededor de las articulaciones y los tendones de la mano o el pie. El tumor contiene un líquido claro similar al líquido sinovial normal, pero más espeso que este. No se debe confundir con ganglio. Es un error frecuente el uso incorrecto de la palabra "ganglión" con el sentido de ganglio nervioso, por influencia del inglés ganglion (que significa ganglio nervioso).
