Synovial cysts: What you described is likely to be a synovial cyst, (Baker's cyst) and you may leave it alone. If it get too big to cause interference with walking or become a cosmetic issue, see your doctor. It is not likely to be a blood clot. You may consult this site for more information. http://www.webmd.com/pain-management/tc/bakers-cyst-topic-overview
