Apart from being behind the knee or around the knee area, cysts may be formed in the bone marrow inside our leg bones. This formation leads to severe inflammation and pain, getting worse in time. The affected area is prone to swelling, high temperature, tenderness and movement restriction.ysts Appearing on Leg. The first case of leg cyst involves the Baker's cyst. This anomaly takes place due to leakage of fluids from the knee, in the area behind it. This leakage happens due to cartilage damage or tearing and forms the cyst which, in the long run may trigger numerous problems.
