BILATERAL POPLITEAL CYST OSSIFICATION IN THE KNEES: A CASE REPORT

We reported a case of a 60 year old man with painful swelling on the posteromedial compartment and functional limitation to flex both knees. The radiological study shows a solid tumor in the soft tissues. MRI scanner of both knees revealed an ossified mass inside popliteal cyst. In the literature consulted it is not reported a case about giant ossified bodies in both knees. They're only three cases-report of single large ossified masses presenting as osteochondral lesions in the popliteal cyst, a one of them report more than two loose bodies in a knee.

In conclusion, we presented a case non described in the consulted literature of loose bodies ossified in bilateral popliteal cyst.
