This report highlights the first known case of an intra-articular ganglion cyst of the suprapatellar pouch. The patient presented with insidious-onset medial knee pain, swelling, and progressive dysfunction. Initial imaging was negative for pathology. More extensive thigh imaging led to the diagnosis. The patient was treated successfully with arthroscopic excision and was symptom-free at final follow-up.
