MARTINEZ LARRARTE, José Pedro; CEPERO MORALES, Raúl; MOLINERO RODRIGUEZ, Claudino  and  SOSA ALMEIDA, Mirtha. Quiste de Baker en el curso de la artritis reumatoidea. Rev cubana med [online]. 2000, vol.39, n.1, pp. 66-69. ISSN 1561-302X.

A case with diagnosis of seropostive rheumatoid arthritis and a year of evolution was presented. The patients was treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and methotrexate. In spite of this, the inflammatory articular activity was maintained at the level of the carpus and knees and there was a volume increase in the posterior region of both legs, with spontaneous pain and positive Homan´s sign. At first, it was evaluated the possibility of a thrombophlebitis of the popliteal region, but, finally, it was considered as a Baker´s cyst.
