- Title
Cysts and cystic-appearing lesions of the knee: A pictorial essay.
- Authors
Telischak, Nicholas A.; Wu, Jim S.; Eisenberg, Ronald L.
- Abstract
Cysts and cystic-appearing lesions around the knee are common and can be divided into true cysts (synovial cysts, bursae, ganglia, and meniscal cysts) and lesions that mimic cysts (hematomas, seromas, abscesses, vascular lesions, and neoplasms). The specifi c anatomic location of the cystic lesion often permits the correct diagnosis. In diffi cult cases, identifying a cystic mass in an atypical location and/or visualizing internal solid contrast enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should raise concern for a neoplasm and the need for further evaluation and intervention.
