description Mucoid degeneration (MD) is an uncommon pathological phenomenon that specifically affects the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This condition arises from the infiltration of yellowish material within the fibers of the ACL, contributing to the clinical presentation characterized by discomfort and limited mobility. MRI has proven to be the foremost diagnostic modality in effectively distinguishing MD of ACL from other potential pathologies. Preoperative recognition of this condition facilitates straightforward diagnosis, particularly via characteristic findings observed during knee arthroscopy. We present a case of MD of ACL, review prior studies about the condition, and outline its clinical features and symptoms, including those observed in our specific case.
