Abstract:
A 17-year-old male patient visited our hospital with a palpable mass on the lateral aspect of the knee joint of five years duration without any related trauma history. The patient felt tenderness around the mass and had limitations in doing flexion exercises. Magnetic resonance imaging of the knee suggested the possibility of synovial hemangioma, and thus surgical treatment was planned. A tumor within the knee joint was found by arthroscopy, and a resection was carried out by dual coagulation shaver. The biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of a synovial hemangiomas. The patient presented months later at the out-patient clinic with no evidence of recurrence.
