CYSTS OF THE FIBROCARTILAGES OF THE KNEE JOINT

HERMON TAYLOR M.A., M.D., M.CHIR., F.R.C.S.1

1 First Assistant, Surgical Unit, London Hospital; Late Demonstrator of Pathology, St. Bartholomew's Hospital

1. Etiology: The cysts are consequent on direct trauma, usually on the outer side of the knee, causing a contusion of the meniscus.

2. Pathology: The cysts are multilocular and are due to progressive mucoid degeneration of the cartilage substance, from the center of which they have been extruded. They are lined with a layer of compressed young fibrous tissue, the end result of the round-cell proliferation around the areas of degeneration.

3. Treatment: Removal of the entire cartilage. Lesser procedures are followed by recurrence.
