Abstract:
Osteochondroma is one of the most common benign tumors. However, intra-articular occurrence is rare, especially in the knee joint; this is a case of osteochondroma forming bony bridge with the patella. The authors experienced a case of intra-articular osteochondroma of the left patella observed in a 58-year-old female, so we reported it with a literature review.
