Symptoms of fossa tumor

summary

Popliteal cyst can be divided into congenital and acquired two kinds, the former is more common in children, the latter can be caused by the disease of bursa itself, such as chronic aseptic inflammation. Some patients are complicated with chronic knee disease. The incidence of elderly patients is mostly related to knee joint diseases, such as osteoarthritis, meniscus injury and so on. What are the symptoms of fossa tumor? Let's talk about it

Symptoms of fossa tumor

Patients may feel discomfort in the popliteal fossa or distension after walking, and some have no conscious symptoms. When the cyst is large, it can hinder the extension and flexion of the knee joint. Examination showed cystic mass in popliteal fossa, varying in size.

Popliteal fossa can touch the tumor, smooth surface, soft texture, tenderness is not obvious, and does not adhere to the skin or other tissues. The fluid dark area of the bursa can be found with clear boundary, which can be used to determine the diagnosis.

The most common popliteal cyst is the dilated gastrocnemius and the diaphragm of the half membrane muscle. The bursa often communicates with the posterior capsule. The incidence rate is more common in middle-aged people than in the female. It is more common in males than in females. It causes mechanical extension and knee flexion, and the pain is lighter.

matters needing attention

The popliteal cyst in children is different from that in adults. Children often do not communicate with the joints, and rarely have intra-articular lesions, which can be cured by themselves. Adult often accompanied with intra-articular lesions, surgical resection of the cyst at the same time to treat intra-articular lesions, or easy to relapse. In principle, all popliteal cysts should be removed. Arthroscopy was performed before operation, and most of them could be performed through posteromedial incision or posterolateral incision. Straight leg raising and quadriceps exercise were performed after operation. Asymptomatic patients do not need treatment. It can also be used for puncture and local injection.
