ACL Femur Cyst Very Rare Presentation - A Case Report.

INTRODUCTION

A ganglion cyst is just an accumulation of gelatinous fluid in thick covering that develops from the capsules around tendons or joints . The cause is unknown; however, several suggestions have been put forth, including ectopic tissue development, synovial herniation, and trauma . The clinical symptoms differ based on the location. Management techniques such as non-operative, computed tomography-guided aspiration, open debridement, arthroscopic debridement, and decompression are advised.

CASE REPORT

Here, we report a 32-year-old man who had no history of severe trauma but had been complaining of knee flexion pain for the previous 3 years. There is no clinical laxity, and no additional injuries were observed. The patient had a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and an X-ray conducted. X-ray appears normal. The femur foot print location has a big cystic lesion seen on the MRI, located behind the ACL. No other anomalies are found.

CONCLUSION

Femoral ganglion cysts are frequently missed but can be diagnosed with the use of a clinical examination and a link between the clinical findings and MRI. The pain is reduced with arthroscopic cyst decompression.
