Giant Cell Tumour of Knee Popliteus Muscle Synovial Sheath
نویسندگان
چکیده
The giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is the second most common soft tissue benign tumour and rarely presents in the knee. We report a rare presentation of a GCTTS in the knee with corresponding magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), an arthroscopic picture, and histological presentation. It is a rare occurrence but should be considered as a differential in atraumatic knee pain presentation. This case report gives a classic picture of its presentation, diagnosis, and histopathology.

Giant cell tumour of tendon sheath (GCTTS), better known as localized nodular tenosynovitis, is a benign slow growing lesion most commonly presenting as a soft tissue nodule with a peak incidence in the third to fourth decade of life. It arises from the synovium of tendon sheath, bursa or joint. GCTTS is thought to arise from synovial lining cells, while the giant cells in GCTSS are structurall...

Objective. The purpose of this investigation was to describe two sonographically guided popliteus tendon sheath injection techniques and determine their accuracy in a cadaveric model. Methods. A single experienced operator completed 24 sonographically guided popliteus tendon sheath injections, 12 using a longitudinal approach and 12 using a transverse approach relative to the tendon. The inject...
