A case of a 13-year-old female patient with a non-traumatic hard-elastic swelling in the right popliteal cavity, associated with functional impairment in maximal knee flexion and mild pain, is presented. The combination of clinical and radiologic findings (radiography, CT and MRI) suggested a number of differential diagnoses within bone and soft tissue tumors. The collected diagnostic information did not allow a definitive diagnosis that was established only after biopsy.

Background: Secondary lymphedema is a progressive condition caused by lipid- and protein-rich interstitial fluid accumulation resulting from compromised lymphatic function. It commonly occurs in cancer patients following surgical lymph node ablation and radiation treatment. This study aims to elucidate the effects of exercise on the myokine interleukin (IL)-6 and the molecular changes involved in lymphangiogenesis and extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis using a lymphedema mouse model.

A medical history provided by the patient indicated that one month prior to presentation, an accidental fall had resulted in multiple rib fractures, bilateral hemopneumothorax, and pneumomediastinum.

A 40-year-old female arrived with persistent posterior right knee pain, swelling in the popliteal, infrapatellar, anterior calf areas and difficulty walking due to joint stiffness. Multiple hypoechoic collections with internal echoes and debris were discovered in the anterior calf region using ultrasound imaging, which extended from a thick-walled infrapatellar hypoechoic collection with peripheral vascularity. A significant popliteal fossa cyst of comparable appearance was also observed.
