Baker\'s cyst: Popliteal cysts resulting from a synovial effusion of the knee. A communication exists between the knee joint and the semimembranosus-gastrocnemial bursa beneath the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle. These cysts may rupture and result in pain, swelling and erythema of the calf (pseudothrombophlebitis).
