Recently we studied a case of cysts of the internal semilunar car tilage, which we believe contributes to the knowledge of the etiology and pathogenesis of this condition. Twenty-two cases of cysts of the semilunar cartilage have been reported since Ebner¹ described the first in 1904. Our case is the third reported case of cysts of the internal meniscus, the other two having been reported by Fisher² and by Allison and O'Connor.³

In the twenty-two cases, the patients' ages varied from 16 to 55, but most of them were in the third decade. Twenty patients were men, and three were women. There was a history of trauma immediately preceding the appearance of the cyst in nine cases, including ours; there was no history of trauma in five cases; in nine cases the presence or absence of trauma as a possible inciting factor was not mentioned.
