The patient is a 32 year-old female day care worker who presents with a right knee mass. She fell on her knee 10 months ago and developed a mass which was surgically excised and drained. Pathology was determined to be benign. The patient fell again one month later reopening the incision and required re-suturing.

1. What is the differential diagnosis?

2. Why might the lesion have reopened after 1 month?
