Synovial hemangioma and osteoarthritis of the knee: a case report

Abstract

This report presents an adult patient suffering from knee osteoarthritis and gross hypertrophy of the synovium, preoperatively interpreted as a nonspecific synovial reaction. The patient underwent a total knee replacement and a complete synovectomy was performed. Histological examination disclosed a synovial hemangioma, which is a rare intra-articular, benign tumor of youth.
