“…The reported prevalences of intra-articular ganglia in the knee are from 0.2% to 1% on knee MRI and 0.6% on knee arthroscopy [7]. Many cases of ganglia, ranging in size from 1.8 to 4.5 cm, have been reported [8], and occasionally they are bilateral.…”

IntroductionLarge ganglionic cystic formations arising from the infrapatellar fat pad are quite uncommon and only a few are mentioned in the literature. An open excision in these cases is mandatory.Case presentationWe report the case of a large infrapatellar fat pad ganglion in a 37-year-old Greek man with chronic knee discomfort. The ganglionic cyst originated from the infrapatellar fat pad and had no intrasynovial extension. The final diagnosis was determined with magnetic resonance imaging of the knee, and the lesion was treated with surgery.ConclusionsThese lesions are asymptomatic in most cases but often are misdiagnosed as meniscal or ligamentous lesions of the knee joint. Nowadays, the therapeutic trend for such lesions is arthroscopic excision, but when there is a large ganglion, as in this case report, the treatment should be an open and thorough resection. This report is intended mostly but not exclusively for clinical physicians and radiologists.

“…14 A few reports of tenosynovial giant cell tumour arising from posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) have also been published. 2,15,16 Kim et al 2 reported a case of 28-year-old man with 5-year history of left knee pain with an intra-articular giant cell tumour attached to the PCL. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a regular contoured mass arising from the PCL.…”

Giant cell tumour Intrarticular ACL a b s t r a c tTenosynovial giant cell tumour is a locally aggressive tumour arising from the synovia of the fibrous tissue surrounding the joints, tendon sheaths and tendons. Areas of predilection are the hand, and in the case of synovial joints, the knee joint is particularly affected.We describe a rare case of an intra-articular localized tenosynovial giant cell tumour arising from the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in a 27 year male who presented with pain and giving way of his left knee without prior history of any trauma. Tests for internal derangement of knee were negative. MRI reported an ACL tear with a heterogeneous fibrous mass attached to the distal part, most probably an organized haematoma. It was decided to do a diagnostic arthroscopy before proceeding for ACL reconstruction.Arthroscopy revealed a purple coloured mass attached to distal part of ACL. The mass was removed piecemeal using an additional posterolateral portal. ACL was found intact. Histopathology reported it to be tenosynovial giant cell tumour. The patient was asymptomatic at each subsequent follow up. It is a rare diagnosis which presented as an ACL tear; in such suspected cases it is prudent to perform a diagnostic arthroscopy before going for ACL reconstruction.
