“…It is typically a small lesion (less than 1,5 cm) composed by a central nidus of osteoid tissue surrounded by a rim of reactive sclerotic bone [8, 10]. Osteoid osteoma can occur everywhere in the skeleton both in the cortex and medulla [11]. However, it most commonly affects the lower extremity with 50% of all cases involving the femur or the tibia [12].…”

“…In addition to open and invasive techniques such as en bloc resection and Burr-Down technique, minimally invasive techniques as CT-guided percutaneous drilling are also used [8, 11, 24]. The surgical resection is difficult even under CT imaging because patella is a small bone, has lesser bone stock, and has a short distance between the anterior cortex and chondral surface [24].…”

“…In our case, an open surgical approach would have lead to the removal of the superior pole of the patella, where the lesion was located, resulting in a weakening of the quadriceps tendon insertion. Moreover, Vallianatos et al [11] reported the development of patella infera due to the scarring and shortening of the patellar tendon as a consequence of the arthrotomy. Franceschi et al [21] described a case of arthroscopic CT-guided resection of a patellar osteoid osteoma.…”

Anterior Knee Pain (AKP) is an important cause of complaint in adolescents which can suggest many possible diseases. Scientific literature concerning this complex symptom is wide and diversified. We report a rare case of patellar osteoid osteoma which affected a thirteen-year-old female who had suffered from anterior left knee pain for almost six months. The diagnosis was suspected from an accurate anamnesis, a careful clinical examination, and confirmed by imaging. Several minimally invasive techniques can be employed to treat osteoid osteoma. However, we consider CT-guided percutaneous drilling the safest and most effective procedure in case of patellar location. Despite its rarity, patellar osteoid osteoma ranges in the differential diagnosis for all patients suffering from AKP.

“…This is probably due to the similarity in the ossification of the patella with that of the epiphysis of long bones [11] . There are reports of tumors like osteoid osteoma, osteoblastoma, spindle cell sarcoma, osteitisfibrosacystica, aneurysmal bone cyst and myelomatous infiltration arising from the patella [15][16][17][18][19][20] . Osteosarcoma is the most frequent primary malignant tumor of patella [9] .…”

We report a case of Ewings sarcoma (ES) involving the patella in a young female. ES of patella is a rare entity. The patient was presented with anterior knee pain and swelling arising from the patella. She was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by wide excision of the patella and reconstruction of the extensor mechanism using split tendoachilles auto graft. The patella is an uncommon site for primary or metastatic tumors of the bone. ES, though rare, should be included in the differential diagnosis of swellings arising from the patella. Auto graft from the tendoachilles is a good alternative for reconstructing the extensor mechanism of the knee. Core tip: We are presenting an article of Ewings sarcoma (ES) of the patella-a rare entity treated by a novel technique. The common reported tumors of the patella include chondroblastoma, giantcell tumor, osteosarcoma, metastasis, etc . We could not find any report on a single case of ES/PNET in the patella treated with patellectomy and extensor mechanism reconstruction using tendoachilles auto graft in the whole of English bio-medical literature. We present here a case of ES of the right patella in a 26 years old female. All reported extensor mechanism reconstructions after patellectomy were by tendoachilles allografts. We resorted to a novel technique of reconstruction of the extensor mechanism using tendoachilles auto graft.Valsalan RM, Zacharia B.

Osteoid Osteoma of the Intercondylar Notch: An Uncommon Cause of Knee Stiffness

et al. 2013

Osteoid osteomas are self-limiting, benign, bone-forming neoplasms. 1,2 First described by Jaffe in 1935, 3 these lesions are common and account for 10 to 12% of all benign bone tumors. These lesions almost always occur in patients younger than 30 years, are more common in males than females (approximately 2 to 1 ratio), and over 50% of the time are found within the metaphysis or diaphysis of long bones. Such lesions can be extremely painful, and the classic presentation involves a young patient with night pain in the tibia or femur that is relieved with oral salicylates. The presence of an osteoid osteoma in a periarticular or intra-articular location about the knee is rare. Osteoid osteoma of the knee may present with nonspecific complaints including knee pain, stiffness, effusions, and atrophy. Depending on the clinical setting, these symptoms could represent a variety of different diagnoses, including meniscal pathology, chondral pathology, synovitis, or Plica syndrome. Radiographic findings are often normal, and advanced imaging is required for diagnosis and treatment. Although intra-articular osteoid osteomas have been described, there remains a paucity of case reports
