Abstract
A ganglion cyst is a soft tissue mass that is surrounded by a dense connective-tissue capsule. The capsule is filled with a viscous fluid that is rich in hyaluronic acid and other mucopolysaccharides. But, Ganglion cysts in the knee joint are rare. There are very few case reports of ganglion cysts related to the surface of the anterior cruciate ligament, Posterior cruciate ligament and medial meniscus. We are reporting a case of a ganglion cyst in the anterior aspect of the anterior cruciate ligament accompanying with discoid lateral meniscus in the right knee of a 46-year-old woman without any history of trauma. The cyst and discoid lateral meniscus were treated successfully with arthroscopic excision and partial meniscectomy.
