Meniscal cysts of the knee are rare. Recent reports suggest that most meniscal cysts are associated with meniscal tear and that they are treated by arthroscopic partial meniscectomy with cyst decompression. This paper presents a 34-year-old woman with symptomatic medial meniscal cyst sustaining a meniscal tear at arthroscopy. We performed an arthroscopic partial meniscectomy but we could not find the opening of the track to the cyst. So open cyst resection was performed to maximize the stabilizing effects of the meniscus and load bearing effects of the knee.
