Thanks for your question on HCM. No need to worry as synovial cyst are benign in nature. In my opinion you should go for MRI. This will tell you more about the lesion. And still you want to confirm go for biopsy of the lesion. If it is negative for cancer than no need to worry about cancer. So consult your orthopaedic surgeon and discuss these things.
