Introduction: Synovial hemangioma is a rare illness frequently misdiagnosed, leading to years of inaction. In this study, we aim to discover the consequences of untreated hemangioma of the knee joint. Case Presentation: Our patient was a 44-year-old male who experienced recurring pain in his left knee. The previous year, the patient experienced pain in his left knee while walking, which has subsided with rest. Although he has been performing radiography at multiple hospitals since 2019, no problems have been recorded. We detected a mass after performing magnetic resonance imaging. The T1-weighted sequence + contras near the medial femoral condyle revealed a homogeneous mass with high intensity. We decided to conduct surgical intervention and total knee replacement. Postsurgical, the patient regained symptom-free. Conclusions: Because of the limited radiographic capacity, synovial hemangioma is uncommon and challenging to diagnose on an outpatient basis. Magnetic resonance imaging and angiography are highly beneficial. If intraarticular hemangiomas are not considered, they can cause bony dysplasia and multiple clinical manifestations. Initial total excision can be conducted to decrease the chance of hemarthrosis.

Synovial hemangioma is an uncommon cause of chronic anterior knee pain. The non-specific clinical presentation leads to delay in diagnosis. MRI is diagnostic and should be considered early in evaluation to plan treatment and prevent functional disability. We present a case of unilateral synovial hemangioma of the knee in a child with pain, swelling and restricted knee mobility. Arthroscopy can be diagnostic and therapeutic in such cases.

Introduction: Synovial hemangioma is a benign soft-tissue tumor of vascular origin. Hemangioma only accounts for 1% of all bone lesions and is mostly an incidental finding among the primary skeleton tumors. A delay in diagnosis results in joint degeneration and osteoarthritic damage because of infiltrating tumor growth. Case Presentation: We presented a rare case of an intra-articular synovial hemangioma in a 13- year-old pediatric patient who was asymptomatic for 5 years. She attended orthopedics OPD at AIIMS, Mangalagiri. Surgical excision of the mass and partial synovectomy was done. Synovial hemangioma came out to be the diagnosis following a histologic study. Conclusion: As radiography has limited diagnostic ability, synovial hemangiomas are difficult and challenging to identify on an outpatient basis. Histological examination and magnetic resonance imaging are extremely helpful. To minimize the hemarthrosis risks, early complete excision can be used as the best treatment modality.

Synovial hemangioma: A rare cause of chronic knee pain

Abstract: Synovial hemangioma is a rare benign vascular tumor responsible for chronic knee pain and swelling. Given its non-specific symptoms, synovial hemangioma is often misdiagnosed. We report a case of synovial hemangioma of bilateral knee joints occurring in a young military man.
