“…The infrapatellar bursa has two parts: one is superficial to the patellar tendon in the subcutaneous plane and one deep to the tendon and anterior to the tuberosity. They both play a role in protecting the tendon during its movement and can develop bursitis due to increased activity [5][6][7]. Rarely chronic bursitis can have ossification or calcification in its substance.…”

Bursitis, though treatable conservatively, very rarely can have ossification and calcification in its substance which requires surgical intervention. The patient should be investigated for any coexisting metabolic bone disorders before proceeding with surgical intervention. The excision biopsy of such a specimen has to be examined histopathologically to rule out any neoplastic etiology. We present an adult male with a painful lump over the tibial tuberosity and its management.

“…Rarely chronic bursitis can have ossification or calcification in its substance. Only a handful of such reports have been described and some of the bursae around the knee involved are prepatellar bursa [ 5 ], and superficial infrapatellar bursa [ 6 ].…”

“…Infrapatellar bursitis is more common in repetitive knee trauma, causing the best known type of superficial infrapatellar bursitis known as the “clergyman’s knee” caused by occupational kneeling. However, the etiology sometimes remains elusive [ 11 ]. Superficial infrapatellar bursitis may also be initiated by acute trauma, as in our patient, leading to hemorrhagic bursitis.…”

Introduction: Superficial infrapatellar bursitis may be traumatic, inflammatory, or infectious. It rarely attains massive dimensions. Open excision can be performed as a one-stage or a two-stage procedure, and endoscopy can be an alternative. We report a chronic, unusually massive, hemorrhagic infrapatellar bursa which we resected totally in a single stage procedure with no significant complications. Case Report: A 65-year-old male farmer presented with a chronic massive swelling in front of the right knee which first appeared 4 years earlier and had no effect on his general condition. The mass was excised in a one-stage procedure and it was found to be a hemorrhagic bursitis. The wound healed uneventfully and, on follow-up 7 weeks later, the patient was able to perform full flexion and extension of the knee. Conclusion: Two-stage procedures for excision are effective, but one-stage procedures are equally effective in chronic cases, provided the dissection is performed meticulously and atraumatically. Keywords: Infra-patellar bursitis, knee mass, hemorrhagic bursitis.
