Abstract

Adventitial cysts of the popliteal artery are rare. Their pathogenesis is debated. In one of the two cases reported here, there was a communication between the arterial cyst and the articulation of the knee. This supports the embryonic theory that the articular synovium and adventitial cysts have the same mesenchymal origins. Treatment is surgical, with simple evacuation of the contents of the cyst in uncomplicated cases, excision and reconstruction in the others.
