on examination:
  swelling was about 5x5 sq cm,over superior angle of right popliteal fossa, well defined,pulsatile,overlying skin was normal in colour but bit tense
there was a small tiny ulcer over tip of right big toe and leg was bit oedematous and superficial veins were bit engourged
it was warm ,soft,expansile,transilllumination test was +ve,flactuation and fluid thrill compression and reducibility were not checked as it was expansile(thinking of an arterial origin and risk of embolism)overlying skin was free  and was not fixed with underlying structures and there was no regional lymphadenopathy
