Popliteal soft tissue sarcoma is a rare tumour, but sometimes it does pose clinical, diagnostic and management challenges. We present here a case report which initially presented as Baker's cyst as it is one of the commonest cyst in this region. It posed a diagnostic challenge even with the help of new imaging modalities. But the patient presented herself to the hospital several times with new symptoms often pointing us towards common pathologies like Baker's cyst, deep-vein thrombosis and vascular lesions but diagnosis was established only after histology. Unfortunately, at this stage, disease was so advanced and metastasised, patient reached terminal stage and refused any kind of treatment.
腘窝软组织肉瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤，但有时确实会带来临床、诊断和治疗方面的挑战。我们在此呈现一份病例报告，该病例最初表现为腘窝囊肿，因为它是该区域最常见的囊肿之一。即使借助新的成像方式，它仍带来了诊断挑战。但患者多次因新症状前来医院，这些症状常使我们考虑常见病症，如腘窝囊肿、深静脉血栓形成和血管病变，但仅在组织学检查后才确诊。不幸的是，在此阶段，疾病已进展至晚期并发生转移，患者进入终末期并拒绝任何治疗。
