Quite a mouthful I agree
From what I have gleaned from reading about it, the myxoid/ganglion cyst
seems not to be a true cyst, and is secondary to an osteophyte. Evidence
supports that with removal of the osteophyte, and not touching the ganglion,
that it prevents the recurrence - without the removal of the osteophyte
and/or the ganglion, there is reoccurrence.
So, it seems that if looking at the cause, it may be more useful to treat
the osteophyte formation diathesis.
Re the fatty tumor - lipomas are slow growing benign tumors of fatty tissue
that form a lobulated soft mass enclosed by a thin fibrous capsule. I did
read that the single lipomas usually occur in women, and the diffuse
lipomatosis of the neck and shoulders are seen mainly in men (I knew an
elderly gentleman with a really really large one on the side of his
cheek/neck, which was drained every now and then, but they left it alone, as
cosmetically it did not bother him - he was in his nineties). Modern
medicine does not have an explanation of etiology as far as i can see.
Just as an exercise for curiosityif you cross lipoma with ganglion here is
what you get
TUMORS, benign - ganglia and lipoma
arn. ars. BAR-C. BELL. bry. CALC. carc. con. hep. lach. merc. PHOS. puls.
rhus-t. SULPH. thuj.
interestingly, Phos comes up for osteophytes, and Calc phos does as well,
which comes up for ganglia.
Sorry couldn't be more helpful
