Özet
Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) occurs mostoften in the hand and rarely in the feet, and as an extremelyuncommon presentation in the knee joint. Case reports involvingGCTTS in the knee joint generally describe it originating fromthe nearby anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament,patellar tendon, and medial plica. To the best of our knowledge,there are no previously reported case reports involving GCTTSoriginating in the ligamentum mucosum. In this article, we describea 27-year-old male patient who was admitted to the orthopedicemergency room with a painful locked knee. He had severe pain thatwas worse with activity and a decreased range of motion. Magneticresonance imaging (MRI) indicated massive swelling and a wellcircumscribed lobulated intraarticular mass at the distal one thirdof the ligamentum mucosum. The mass was removed successfullywith arthroscopic-assisted mini-open excision, and histologicalanalysis subsequently diagnosed it as a localized type of GCSTT.The patient remained asymptomatic and a follow-up MRI two yearsafter surgery did not show any recurrence of the lesion.
