Abstract
We report a rare case of meniscal cyst from the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, extending in the posterior intercondylar space of the right knee of a 15-year-old boy, in whom magnetic resonance imaging was very useful for evaluation. A cyst in this location has not been reported previously. The cyst was removed surgically, while preserving the lateral meniscus. A good result was obtained, and no recurrence has been seen in 12 months.
