Core Tip	Meniscal cysts represent a relatively uncommon form of meniscal pathology and are typically classified as intra-meniscal or para-meniscal cysts. Para-meniscal cysts generally arise on the side of the meniscus adjacent to the joint capsule. However, this report presents a rare case of a medial meniscus free-edge cyst, which, to the best of current knowledge, has not been previously documented. This case contributes to a broader understanding of meniscal cysts.
