What is a ganglion cyst and are babies supposed to have them?

my daughter is 19months old with a cyst in her right hand

A ganglion cyst is a rupture of the joint protective like sack that contains a jelly like matter that then causes a lump. I would not think they would occur in a baby unless there was some type of injury. What is the location of the cyst?

I'm guessing it is located over a knuckle. I don't believe it is dangerous and if I remember correctly it may disappear on it's own or a M.D. could use a needle to suction out the synovial fluid but it still might return.

Anything refered to as a "cyst" is not supposed to be there...so I'm gonna say no.
