  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/bakers-cyst/symptoms-causes/syc-20369950

  Swelling on the back of one knee may be a Baker cyst. This can form when joint-lubricating fluid fills a cushioning pouch (bursa) at the back of the knee. […] A Baker cyst is usually the result of a problem with the knee joint, such as arthritis or a cartilage tear. Both conditions can cause the knee to produce too much fluid. […] But sometimes underlying conditions can cause the knee to produce too much synovial fluid. When this happens, fluid can build up in the back of the knee, leading to a Baker cyst. […] This can be caused by: Inflammation of the knee joint, which can occur with various types of arthritis; A knee injury, such as a cartilage tear.

  Baker cysts, or popliteal cysts, are fluid-filled distended synovial-lined lesions arising in the popliteal fossa between the medial head of the gastrocnemius and the semimembranosus tendons via a communication with the knee joint. They represent neither a true bursa nor a true cyst, as they occur as a communication between the posterior joint capsule and the gastrocnemius-semimembranosus bursa. […] Two pathological processes are described: a valve-like connection between the knee joint and the gastrocnemius-semimembranosus bursa, resulting in fluid being squeezed in one direction; no connection, with primary gastrocnemius-semimembranosus bursitis. […] Recognized complications include: dissection: the cyst usually dissects inferomedially but can dissect proximally, anteriorly, intermuscularly or intramuscularly; rupture: leaking of cyst fluid into the popliteal fossa, between fascial planes and surrounding the hamstrings and medial gastrocnemius muscles; moreover, there is edema of the soft tissue and irregularity of the cyst wall; compression: of the popliteal vessels and tibial nerve; compartment syndrome: can be either anterior or posterior.

  Baker’s cysts typically result from a problem inside the knee joint, such as osteoarthritis or a meniscus tear. […] In adults, Baker’s cysts usually result from an injury or condition that causes swelling and inflammation inside the knee joint, such as: Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Meniscus tear, Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, Other conditions that damage the tissues inside the joint. […] In response to this inflammation, the knee produces excess synovial fluid, which travels behind the knee and accumulates in the popliteal bursa. The bursa then swells and bulges, forming a Baker’s cyst. […] In younger patients, Baker’s cysts often have no known cause.

  A Baker’s cyst may develop just behind an otherwise healthy knee joint. This type of cyst is sometimes referred to as a primary or idiopathic Baker’s cyst and usually develops in younger people and in children. […] It is more common for a Baker’s cyst to develop if there is an underlying problem within the knee, such as arthritis or a tear in the meniscal cartilage that lines the inside of the knee joint. This is sometimes referred to as a secondary Baker’s cyst. […] In a secondary Baker’s cyst, the underlying problem within the knee joint causes too much synovial fluid to be produced within the joint. As a result of this, the pressure inside the knee increases and this has the effect of stretching the joint capsule. The joint capsule bulges out into the back of the knee, forming the Baker’s cyst that is filled with synovial fluid.

  A Bakers cyst is a fluid-filled cyst at the back of the knee. […] Bakers cysts are usually caused by damage to the knee joint. […] Bakers cysts tend to be caused by other problems in the knee joint. If the joint is damaged due to a chronic condition or injury, it cant absorb shock or reduce friction properly. […] The risk of developing a Baker’s cyst is greater if you have certain injuries or chronic conditions affecting the knee joint. […] Bakers cysts are common in people who are over 50 or have knee problems: Around 5 to 40 out of 100 people with chronic knee pain have a Bakers cyst. […] If the cause of the Bakers cyst is treated and that reduces the production of synovial fluid, the cyst will go away. […] Bakers cysts can last for years if the underlying condition is not successfully treated. […] Bakers cysts in children are usually primary Bakers cysts, which develop even though the knee isnt damaged.

  A Bakers cyst is typically caused by inflammation related to the following conditions: […] Osteoarthritis (OA). The wear and tear of knee joint cartilage and soft tissue due to aging, overuse, or injury. Worn cartilage causes the knee to become inflamed. This inflammation causes the capsule to make extra fluid which then collects in the Bakers cyst in the back of the knee. […] Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). An autoimmune disease in which the body mistakenly attacks its own cartilage. This inflammation can cause significant swelling which collects in the back of the knee. […] Meniscal Tears. The meniscus is the rubbery fibrocartilage between the cartilage on the tibia and femur. Meniscal tears can cause inflammation as they flip up and down between the cartilage on the bone. This is not to be confused with a patella tendon tear.

  A Baker’s cyst (known as a popliteal cyst) is a fluid-filled sac that forms behind your knee. It develops when excess joint fluid—known as synovial fluid—accumulates in the popliteal bursa; this small sac serves to help cushion the knee joint. This accumulation causes swelling and, in some cases, discomfort. […] The Baker’s cyst is usually a symptom of an underlying issue, such as arthritis or a meniscus tear. While the cyst can vary in size, it can become large enough to restrict knee movement and cause significant pain. […] Several underlying conditions can lead to the formation of a Baker’s cyst: Osteoarthritis: As the most common cause, this wear-and-tear condition inflames the knee joint, increasing fluid production. […] Rheumatoid arthritis: Inflammatory arthritis can cause excessive fluid to accumulate in the affected joint.

  Bakers cyst is not a disease in itself, but a symptom that indicates the presence of other diseases or tissue weaknesses. […] The causes of knee joint swelling such as Bakers cyst can be varied. On the one hand, accidents and injuries can cause bleeding into the joint, resulting in the formation of a knee joint effusion with corresponding swelling. However, knee joint effusion is much more common with advanced wear of the knee joint, due to overuse and irritation of the joint. […] If this tissue is weakened, it cannot sufficiently resist the internal pressure. The weak spot in the joint tissue is stressed by the pressure created in the joint capsule when too much synovial fluid (synovium) is produced, and expands to form a protrusion that can be felt in the back of the knee as a Bakers cyst.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1250593-overview

  Cysts about the knee have multiple etiologies, including irritated and inflamed bursae, meniscal cysts caused by intra-articular pathology, and special categories, such the following: […] When a Baker cyst forms in association with a meniscal tear, the meniscus serves as a one-way valve. This allows synovial fluid to enter the cyst but prevents its evacuation back into the knee joint cavity. The trapped fluid localizes and consolidates to form a viscous, gel-like material. […] In children, Baker cysts result from herniation of the posterior knee joint synovium/capsule. […] It is important to realize that other processes can mimic cysts on MRI. Benign and malignant tumors must be ruled out during the workup of any cyst about the knee; other entities to consider are abscesses and vascular masses, such as popliteal vein varices and popliteal artery aneurysms.

  Baker cysts, or popliteal cysts, are fluid-filled distended synovial-lined lesions arising in the popliteal fossa between the medial head of the gastrocnemius and the semimembranosus tendons via a communication with the knee joint. They represent neither a true bursa nor a true cyst, as they occur as a communication between the posterior joint capsule and the gastrocnemius-semimembranosus bursa. […] Two pathological processes are described: a valve-like connection between the knee joint and the gastrocnemius-semimembranosus bursa, resulting in fluid being squeezed in one direction; no connection, with primary gastrocnemius-semimembranosus bursitis. […] Recognized complications include: dissection: the cyst usually dissects inferomedially but can dissect proximally, anteriorly, intermuscularly or intramuscularly; rupture: leaking of cyst fluid into the popliteal fossa, between fascial planes and surrounding the hamstrings and medial gastrocnemius muscles; moreover, there is edema of the soft tissue and irregularity of the cyst wall; compression: of the popliteal vessels and tibial nerve; compartment syndrome: can be either anterior or posterior.
