"Clinically the patient with meniscal cysts may present with a palpable soft tissue swelling, with or without knee pain."
"There are multiple theories regarding the aetiology of meniscal cysts. Surgical and arthroscopic series report lateral meniscal cysts as a more frequent occurrence as compared to their medial counterparts. A systematic review of MR literature says that the frequency of medial and lateral meniscal cysts is almost equal 1. In ~4% of cases, meniscal cysts may involve both menisci within the same knee 5."
"MRI may be more sensitive than arthroscopy in detecting cysts since arthroscopic evaluation of the posterior region of the knee joint (posterior to the posterior meniscal horn) is limited. For a definite diagnosis of meniscal/parameniscal cysts, one should confirm not only the presence of the cyst but also meniscal tear and communication between them; otherwise, it should be reported as a possible meniscal cyst."
