Arthroscopic management of giant cell tumor from the posterior cruciate ligament
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Orthopedics - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor originates fromsynovium of the joints, tendon sheaths, mucosal bursa and fibrous tissue adjacent tissues. These tumors predominantly involve the palmar side of the fingers and toes and seldom present in large joints. Intra articular Giant Cell Tumor is a very rare clinical condition in Orthopedics. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the best non-invasive diagnostic tool to confirm Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor and further confirmed by arthroscopic excision and histopathological examination. This is a case report of a 24-year-old male with complaints of pain in right knee joint for two years with no history of trauma. MRI right knee joint revealed an intra articular mass attached behind the Posterior Cruciate Ligament. Arthroscopy was performed and mass removed for histopathological examination which confirmed the diagnosis of Giant Cell Tumor from the Posterior Cruciate Ligament.
