A person may have no symptoms at all. When signs and symptoms do occur, they may include:

  • a fullness or lump felt behind the knee
  • a limited ability to bend the knee
  • pain, aching, or tenderness
  • pressure
  • swelling of the knee or calf
  • Symptoms are usually mild and often come and go. However, if the cyst breaks or ruptures, severe symptoms may occur suddenly.
