Bakers cyst: A bakers cyst could cause a DVT in people who are predisposed to have coagulation problems. You should not be worried about a DVT if there are not risk factors for it. For example, taking birth control pills predisposes patients to have coagulation problems. A DVT usually causes symptoms like pain and edema.
