Fibroma of tendon sheaths (FTS) is an uncommon soft tissue tumour which arises from the synovial sheath of tendons. We report a histologically proven case with intrarticular 'fibroma of tendon sheath' originating from the joint capsule of the knee, an even rarer entity, in a middle-aged female presenting with knee pain, swelling with limited range of motion. MRI and arthroscopy studies revealed an intraarticular mass originating from the synovial membrane with lobulated contours. Open excision was performed because of the large size of the mass, making it inaccessible arthroscopically. The patient is symptom free since the surgery done 15 months back.

“…FTS commonly presents in tendons of the finger, hand and wrist but is much less common in large joints like the knee or shoulder 1 2. To our knowledge, there are 51 reported cases of FTS occurring around large joints 1–31. Incidence of FTS around large joints follows a male to female ratio of 2 to 1 with a reported mean age of 40.9 in a literature review by Suzuki et al 1.…”

“…Incidence of FTS around large joints follows a male to female ratio of 2 to 1 with a reported mean age of 40.9 in a literature review by Suzuki et al 1. Of the 51 reported cases, 40 cases (78.4%) involved the knee, 5 cases (11.1%) the elbow, 4 cases (7.8%) the ankle and 2 cases (3.9%) the shoulder 1–31. Of the 51 reported cases, 32 cases disclosed the precise location of the FTS and 28 referred to the knee joint as the only area of involvement.…”

“…Of the 51 reported cases, 32 cases disclosed the precise location of the FTS and 28 referred to the knee joint as the only area of involvement. In reports of knee FTS, there is a higher occurrence of intra-articular FTS (89.3%) versus extra-articular FTS (10.7%) 1 2 7–31. The intra-articular location of FTS is variable; however, it most frequently arises around the posterior cruciate ligament (9) and/or posterior capsule (32.1%) 1 2 7–31…”

Arthroscopic treatment for intra-articular fibroma of the tendon sheath in a teenager

An adolescent female patient presented with atraumatic left knee pain and limited flexion. MRI demonstrated evidence of a soft tissue lesion abutting the posterior cruciate ligament. Differential diagnosis included pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) and fibroma of the tendon sheath (FTS). Following arthroscopic biopsy, histopathological evaluation confirmed FTS. The tumour was then excised via an arthroscopic approach. This case report provides a unique example of FTS abutting the cruciate ligaments in an uncommonly young female patient. It highlights the importance of including benign processes, such as FTS, in the differential with more aggressive-type diagnoses like PVNS. Furthermore, this case exemplifies an appropriate surgical indication for FTS. Finally, it emphasises the importance of communication and collaboration among orthopaedic subspecialists in providing safe and effective arthroscopic treatment of this unique tumour presentation.

Bilateral Van Neck-Odelberg Disease: A Case Report

Van Neck-Odelberg disease, also known as ischiopubic osteochondritis, is a rare cause of buttock or groin pain in the pediatric age group. The challenge in its diagnosis is due to its radiologic similarity. Ischiopubic synchondrosis occurs in childhood and is seen before the fusion of the pubis and ischium. With the advancement of age toward skeletal maturity, ischiopubic synchondrosis reduces in size and gradually vanishes due to synostosis or bony union. Here, we report the case of a 13-year-old girl who came to our outpatient department with complaints of bilateral groin pain for one year. After a thorough evaluation, she was diagnosed with a case of bilateral Van Neck-Odelberg disease, or ischiopubic osteochondritis, and conservative management was planned. Closure of ischiopubic synchondrosis varies with age and is usually finished before puberty. In a typical scenario, such fusion of the pubis and ischium does not lead to any clinical symptoms. However, in a few instances, children may experience some pain in the groin, hip, or gluteal region, which results in restricted movements at the hip joint and can lead to limping while walking. Van Neck-Odelberg disease is rare in children, causing pain in the groin region. As it is a rare condition, diagnosis is often missed. The radiological appearance suggests many differential diagnoses, such as a stress fracture, neoplasm, or infection. Prompt diagnosis and treatment can relieve the symptoms.
