Adventitial cysts of the popliteal artery are rare. Their pathogenesis is debated. In one of the two cases reported here, there was a communication between the arterial cyst and the articulation of the knee. This supports the embryonic theory that the articular synovium and adventitial cysts have the same mesenchymal origins. Treatment is surgical, with simple evacuation of the contents of the cyst in uncomplicated cases, excision and reconstruction in the others.

The present study aimed to evaluate the histologic, histochemical, and immunohistochemical changes in buffalo livers with cystic echinococcosis. Noninfected and infected livers were collected from the freshly slaughtered buffalo at the Aligarh abattoir. Small pieces of both infected and noninfected livers ( = 5) were cut and processed for histologic and histochemical studies.

Article Synopsis
- A 67-year-old woman experienced leg pain due to severe popliteal artery stenosis caused by a popliteal ganglion cyst.
- After opting out of vein bypass surgery, the patient was successfully treated with ultrasound-guided aspiration of the cyst, restoring normal blood flow.
- This case is notable as it is the first reported instance where ganglion cyst aspiration successfully relieved claudication caused by a compressed popliteal artery, highlighting a new treatment option for cystic adventitial disease.

Article Synopsis
- Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) is a rare condition affecting arteries and veins, often leading to non-atherosclerotic peripheral vessel disease, with the popliteal artery being the most commonly affected.
- A case study highlighted a 62-year-old woman with CAD in her left common femoral artery, who initially underwent surgery but experienced a relapse that required a second surgical intervention.
- Literature review of 29 patients showed claudication as the main symptom and recommended treatment options included complete cyst excision and interposition graft using saphenous vein or PTFE to reduce recurrence rates.
