Abstract:
We report the case of a 55-year-old patient with a giant popliteal cyst associated with grade 2 gonarthrosis, causing pain and discomfort on knee flexion. MRI revealed a voluminous cloistered cystic mass communicating with the joint cavity, unmodified after contrast, measuring 200×80mm, associated with femorotibial and femoropatellar chondropathy.
the patient underwent complete open surgical excision of the cyst with repair of the capsule. After 06 months of follow-up no recurrence of the cyst was observed.
The aim of this article is to present a successful surgical management of a symptomatic giant popliteal cyst.
