CLINICAL FEATURES

The patient was a 25 years old male who suffered of a continuously increasing discomfort and pain on his right knee that began four years before diagnosis. Mobilization of the articulation incremented the pain at this level and a limited active and passive flexo-extension of the knee was clinically observed. At the palpation, there was noted a painful tumor on the inner aspect of the articulation.

In CT scan (Fig.1) and magnetic resonance imaging, the tumor had a soft tissue density and was placed within the anterior intercondyleal space with a close relation with the femoral condyle and adjacent synovial tissues. The neoplasm was delimited in rear sense by the crossing ligament and protruded forwardly in the prerotulian fat. Radiologically, the tumor had a well delimited although festooned contour and a homogeneous solid density with a hipodense band. The neoplasm displayed a low level of isotope uptake. There were no superficial osseous erosions.
