Aim: To describe the successful treatment of a Baker’s cyst in the setting of post-traumatic osteoarthritis using ultrasound-guided injection of platelet-rich plasma. Setting: Outpatient sports clinic. Patient: 29-year old male basketball player. Case description: The patient presented with 2-months history of right knee pain, 17 months after undergoing right knee anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. Exam revealed medial joint line and medial collateral ligament tenderness with posterior knee swelling. After aspiration, a corticosteroid injection was administered with temporary symptom relief. Diagnostic ultrasound examination confirmed the Baker’s cyst. The patient then underwent two serial leukocyte-rich platelet-rich plasma injections into his right knee. Results: The patient reported complete resolution of pain and cyst size. Conclusion: Leukocyte-rich platelet-rich plasma may be considered as a treatment option for patients with Baker’s cysts in the setting of post-traumatic osteoarthritis.

Prevalent Disease

Background: The knee joint is the most common site for cyst formation. Popliteal cyst may become large and its compressive effects produce complications particularly in subacute and chronic rheumatic diseases. Methods: We evaluated predisposing factors, underlying diseases, complications, course and management of giant Baker's cysts in our patients with rheumatic diseases. Patients with popliteal cysts that extended down lower than inferior level of the popliteal fossa, confirmed by imaging techniques were included in this retrospective study. Results: A total of 40 patients had giant Baker's cysts during last 20 years. Rheumatoid arthritis was the most prevalent disease in 21 patients (52.5%). Our cases included a large series of patients with seronegative spondyloarthropathies complicated with giant Baker's cyst in 10 patients (25%). Localized bulging, pain and tenderness of the calf region were observed in 15 patients (37.5%). A total of 25 patients had symptoms and signs similar to thrombophlebitis (62.5%). Rupture of Baker's cyst was detected in 10 patients (25%). A patient had giant Baker's cyst concurrent with thrombophlebitis. Management was mostly conservative including rest and intra-articular depoglucocorticoid injection with satisfactory results. Conclusions: In this study, rheumatoid arthritis was the most prevalent underlying disease and the pseudothrombophlebitis syndrome was the most prevalent presenting feature of patients with giant Baker's cysts.

Specific Symptoms

In the absence of coexisting immunocompromised state and lack of specific symptoms a reactivation of treated mycobacterial tuberculosis (MTB) infection is generally not considered in the differential diagnosis of leg pain. We present a unique case of disseminated tuberculosis presenting as an infected Baker’s cyst in a 73-year-old immunocompetent male.
