Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Benign cysts and cystic-appearing lesions in and around the knee are common and differentiation between them through the history, symptoms and clinical examination is difficult due to the presence of common findings such as pain, edema, and palpable mass. The clinical presentation depends on the location, size of the lesion and its relation with the surrounding structures.
