Hi, Thanks for writing in. Bakers cyst is a benign swelling in the popliteal fossa (back of knee) region due to collection of fluid in sac like structures (bursa) around the knee joint. They are usually self-contained and appear as a swelling between muscle tendons at the knee joint. On rare occasions the cyst can rupture. Bigger cysts need to be surgically removed, and smaller cysts can be observed for a while for symptoms to develop and increase in size. In your situation, the cyst might be causing pressure symptoms on the venous Chat Doctor.  This is mentioned in the report. Your surgeon will examine you completely and then decide on the course of treatment as per your symptoms and after a venous Doppler of your lower limb. Hope this helps.
