Abstract
We report two cases of intratendinous cysts of the Achilles tendon, wh ich occurred after treatment of tendon ruptures. Intratendinous cysts develop in the Achilles tendon and patellar ligament. The clinical dia gnosis should be confirmed by sonography or magnetic resonance imaging . Surgical excision of the necrosis is the therapy of choice.
