Abstract
Meniscal cysts of the knee are common and well evaluated by magnetic resonance (MR)
imaging, a method that also reveals the frequently associated meniscal tear. Diagnosis
of meniscal cysts with routine radiography is difficult, although bone erosions are
reported as a very rare manifestation of such cysts. Our retrospective study describes
seven patients in whom meniscal cysts were associated with adjacent erosion of bone.
