There are two kinds of meniscal cysts. The lateral meniscus is much more often cystic than the medial and the patient, usually an adult male, presents with a characteristic lump on the outer side of the knee. The lump is hard, almost bony, often just below the joint line, and most easily seen with the knee slightly flexed. 1, record 1, English, - meniscal%20cyst
