Intra-Articular Fibroma of Tendon Sheath in a Knee Joint Associated with Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Iliotibial band (ITB) friction syndrome is a common overuse injury typically seen in the active athlete population. A nodular lesion on the inner side of the ITB as an etiology or an accompanying lesion from friction syndrome has been rarely reported. A 45-year-old male presented with recurrent pain and a movable nodule at the lateral joint area, diagnosed as ITB friction syndrome. The nodule was confirmed as a rare intra-articular fibroma of the tendon sheath (FTS) on the basis of histopathologic findings. We describe the MRI findings, arthroscopic and pathologic features, in this case of intra-articular FTS presenting with ITB friction syndrome.

متن کاملFibroma of tendon sheath around large joints: clinical characteristics and literature review
BACKGROUND Fibroma of tendon sheath (FTS) is a benign tumor arising from the synovium of the tendon sheath that occurs mostly around small joints such as the fingers, hands, and wrist. However, FTS rarely arises around a large joint (knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle) with intra-articular or extra-articular involvement. The clinical characteristics of FTS arising around a large joint are unclear...
متن کاملSnapping Hip Syndrome
Key Points • External coxa saltans is snapping due to the tensor fascia lata and iliotibial band flipping back and forth across the greater trochanter. • Internal coxa saltans is snapping caused by the iliopsoas tendon. • Intra-articular coxa saltans refers to a variety of intra-articular lesions that can cause painful clicking or popping within the joint. • Coxa vara and reduced bi-iliac width...
متن کاملIliotibial band syndrome: a common source of knee pain.
Iliotibial band syndrome is a common knee injury. The most common symptom is lateral knee pain caused by inflammation of the distal portion of the iliotibial band. The iliotibial band is a thick band of fascia that crosses the hip joint and extends distally to insert on the patella, tibia, and biceps femoris tendon. In some athletes, repetitive flexion and extension of the knee causes the dista...
متن کاملExtra-articular Mimickers of Lateral Meniscal Tears
CONTEXT Lateral meniscus tears are a common entity seen in sports medicine. Although lateral-side knee pain is often the result of a meniscus injury, several extra-articular pathologies share signs and symptoms with a meniscus tear. It is critical for the clinician to be able to identify and understand extra-articular pathologies that can present similar to a lateral meniscus tear. EVIDENCE A...
