Two cases of meniscal cyst were reported in a 53-year-old female and a 49-year-old male. Total meniscectomies were carried out in both patients, and good results were obtained. Histological findings revealed cystic structures with lining epitherial cells. The incidence of meniscal cyst seems to be rare in Japan, compared to that of other countries. Clinical relevance is, however, very important in the differential diagnosis and treatment of meniscal cyst.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
