Age dependent.: In a young child the cyst will usually resolve spontaneously without treatment. When painfull heat may help. In an adult, with rare exceptions the cyst develops secondary to a torn meniscus or an arthritic knee joint. Treatment of the cyst usually is of no benefit. One must treat the cause to be successful.
