Accelerated para-articular osteochondroma formation within the knee: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Intra-articular osteochondroma and acoustic neuroma are rare entities. CASE PRESENTATION We report the rare occurrence of a para-articular osteochondroma of the knee developing over short duration, 5 months, following minor injury. CONCLUSION Predisposition to heterotrophic ossification after previous neurosurgery and a second acoustic neuroma may have accelerated the growth of this benign tumour. The development of these two rare entities suggests they may be associated.

Para-articular osteochondroma: Role of diagnostic imaging
Para-articular osteochondroma (PAOC) is a subtype of extra-skeletal chondroma. This is a rare slow growing benign soft tissue tumour which arises from the adjacent joint and without continuity with the bone. The knee joint is the most frequent site of involvement, particularly at the infra-patellar fossa. We report two cases of para-articular osteochondroma of the knee joint. Based on the imagi...
متن کاملAn extraskeletal para-articular osteochondroma of Hoffa’s fat pad
Extraskeletal para-articular osteochondromas are rather unusual tumors that arise in the soft tissues adjacent to the joint with no bony or joint continuity. We report a 25-year-old female who presented with a two-year history of right knee mass. Diagnostic imaging revealed a calcifying mass in the Hoffa's fat pad of the knee. Roentgenographic, magnetic resonance imaging, and histopathologic fe...
متن کاملTumor formation in Hoffa's infrapatellar fat: Case report☆
Although tumors or pseudotumoral lesions are rare in the infrapatellar fat, they may affect it. Osteochondroma is the commonest benign bone tumor. However, extraskeletal presentations are rare. There are three extraskeletal variants of osteochondroma: synovial chondromatosis, para-articular chondroma and soft-tissue chondroma. We present a case of a single intra-articular lesion in the area of ...

INTRODUCTION Para-articular masses are not clear enough in terms of their etiology and nomenclature. Although surgical removal of the mass is the preferred treatment, long term follow-up after surgical treatment has not been reported yet. The current study presents a patient with the osteo-cartilaginous mass of infrapatellar region, diagnosed after a trauma. This case has the longest follow-up ...
متن کاملPatellar tendinopathy caused by a para-articular/extraskeletal osteochondroma in the lateral infrapatellar region of the knee: a case report
Patellar tendinopathy is characterized by activity-related anterior knee pain. It is most commonly related to sports activity, but has also been reported in the non-athletic population. Most injuries are caused by microtrauma, resulting in tendinitis or tendinosis. Extraskeletal paraarticular osteochondromas, which occur in the soft tissues near the joint, are rare. The infrapatellar fat pad an...
