title: An unusual case of meniscal hematoma mimicking a medial meniscal cyst.
abstract: This is a case report of a so-called meniscal hematoma that mimicked a meniscal cyst. A literature search found no previous report of it before. Treatment with arthroscopic intra-articular decompression alone is enough. We discuss the possibility of its pathogenesis and treatment.
