Answer
On exactly where it is, how big it is, how much it has increased in how much time.....etc.
There is a lot of structural stuff in the knee that can be affected by this. Blood flow can be restricted, cartilage can be shifted and weakened.
, so on and so forth.
How long have you had it? Has it grown since you first noticed it? How much?
Is it currently causing you any problems? And finally, what did the Dr. say when you asked him?
Sorry, I can't give you a pat answer, but..... I don't have enough info, and even then Imay not be able to help much.
Keeping you safe, healthy and on the road.

I happened to get an MRI done to my right left knee about 7 years ago. I was told I had a bakers cyst but, that didn't have anything to do with my problelm. As I said, it's been 7 or 8 years and I have not had a problem so far. I can't guarantee that you won't.
Answer
That's how mine was found...during an MRI....the doc said it wasn't anything to worry about....right now, But said if it gave me any trouble....I might want to have it drained.....!
NOT too sure about THAT......!
