Definition:
A 'Baker's cyst', also known as a popliteal fossa cyst, is a benign swelling of the semimembranous or more rarely some other synovial bursa found behind the knee. It is named after the surgeon who first described it, William Morrant Baker. This is not a "true" cyst, as an open communication with the synovial sac is often maintained.
