Abstract
Despite its benign nature, a ganglion can be problematic. We successfully treated a patient with large painful ganglion in his ankle by OK-432 (lyophilized incubation mixture of group A Streptococcus pyogenes of human origin) injection. OK-432 injection seems to be a safe, convenient, and effective alternative to surgical treatment for either symptomatic or recurrent ganglia.Entities:
