Objective:
To present the clinical management of a ganglion cyst presenting on the dorsolateral aspect of the foot.

Intervention And Outcome:
Patient was treated with high-frequency electroacupuncture in four consecutive sessions over four weeks, and reported resolution of the cyst following therapeutic intervention.
