This is the case report of 37 year-old male that presented with mass at lateral aspect of right knee leading to progressive foot drop. His physical findings and investigations corresponded with proximal tibiofibular ganglion cyst and the cyst was excised. His foot drop returned to fully recovery and he could go back to the same level of previous activities.
