Abstract
Previous investigators have reported incidental findings and symptomatic cases of cystic ganglia on the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) that were mucinous degeneration or herniation of the synovial tissue through a defect. However, we report 2 cases of grossly solid ganglia of the ACL those mimicked lateral meniscal tears. A literature search found no previous report of them. We discuss the possibility of their pathogenesis and treatment.
