Get evaluated: Usually orthopedic procedures for bakers cyst include partial or complete resection of the cyst. They are related to the knee joint linings. If a mass has recurred in the same location make sure you get evaluated for a vascular condition. A popliteal aneurysm can mimic a baker's cyst. Its important to get a vascular ultrasound or ct angio to differentiate. They have very different treatments.
