Question 1

what makes a myxoid cyst get bigger?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say.: Different theories. The current thinking is that many of these are due to osteoarthritis.  They can go away on their own.  They can be ignored if they don't bug you.  But since the chance of them returning is good, no matter what treatment is chosen, this would be a good time to see a hand surgeon, who can try the simple things first, and know when more complicated treatments, are worth trying.

Question 2

what is myxoid degeneration of the anterior cruciate iigament?

Accepted Answer

Degeneration: Myxoid means that their is a swelling and disorganization of the fibers of the ligament. Often times this adjective has no significance to the ultimate treatment plan.

Question 3

what is a "rare" lymphoid aggregate? and what is its relation when found in a myxoid stroma in the endometrium?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you: have had an endometrial/uterine biopsy. Perhaps there was some abnormal bleeding. Myxoid simply means mucous-like; stroma simply means connective, functionally supportive tissue. Finding clumps of lymphoid cells in this uterine supportive tissue has no significance on its own if no other abnormalities are reported. "Rare" just means they only saw a few of them, not that they were unusual.

Question 4

weakly prolif. endo. w foci of stromal and glandular breakdown. rare lymphoid aggregates found in portions of biopsy in context to myxoid stroma seen ?

Accepted Answer

No ovulation: This is a description of endometrium that has been in the proliferative (growing or recovery) phase for too long. That is the phase which normally preceeds ovulation. After ovulation, the endometrium moves into the secretory phase during which an embryo can be received if pregnancy takes place; otherwise a normal menstrual phase (period) begins. Hormonal treatment may be necessary if out of order.

Question 5

medial meniscus demonstrates a linear tear within the mid substance of the meniscus with myxoid degenerative signal within the posterior horn. explain?

Accepted Answer

Meniscus tears: Recommend formal consultation with an orthopedic surgeon. Consider a virtual consult.

Question 6

posterior horn medial meniscus with myxoid degeneration, what is this?

Accepted Answer

Meniscal Degeneratio: It sounds like you are describing an MRI finding on a radiologist report.  It means,  that on imaging, the substance of the meniscus in the inside (medial) and posterior (back) part of your knee is starting to degrade. This is a normal occurrence starting in your twenties.  In the absence of a tear, this finding should be asymptomatic and should not require surgery

Question 7

mri showing myxoid degeneration due to buckling of pcl. acl alignment and continuity is maintained.

Accepted Answer

Which ligament?: The information presented here is incomplete. However, myxoid degeneration is usually not a cause of symptoms/disability. Unless the ACL or PCL is lax (loose), then degeneration of these ligaments is rarely a problem. Also, the menisci (ring-shaped cartilage) can also show myxoid degeneration on an MRI.
