?Baker's cyst ?: What you describe sounds like a baker's cyst which is a benign collection of fluid in a sac behind the knee joint. It is thought to represent an over production of fluid by the joint and may reflect irritation or injury within the knee.The orthopedist can confirm the findings and help you plan a program of further assessment or treatment.
