The most common cyst occurs in the popliteal region is the popliteal cyst and over the past years it has been received much clinical attention. The most common position of the popliteal cyst is in the posterosuperior aspect of the medial femoral condyle. The present paper describes a rare case of popliteal cyst, which was found in the postero-superior aspect of the lateral condyle of the femur. Interestingly, there are fewer reports of popliteal cysts occurring in the postero-superior aspect of the lateral condyle. We as orthopedic surgeons describe the unusual presentation of popliteal cyst in the postero-superior aspect of the lateral popliteal region and discuss its clinical significance. Anatomical knowledge of such anomalies is very important.
