Large subarticular cysts (geodes) adjacent to the knee-joint in rheumatoid arthritis

A R Carter et al. Clin Radiol. 1975 Oct.

Abstract

Two patients with rheumatoid arthritis are described, who developed very large bone cysts or geodes adjacent to the knee-joint. The existence of cysts adjacent to joints involved by rheumatoid arthritis is well recognised, but the occurrence of very large cysts is unusual and may present diagnostic difficulties. Possible aetiological factors are discussed.
