We present a case report of an unusual giant lesion
of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) causing destruction and requiring
reconstruction of ACL. A case report of a 32-year-old male patient presented to
orthopedics outpatient clinic with 2 years history of right knee instability
and clicking symptoms with no history of an obvious injury. Magneric resonance
imaging showed a giant lesion occupying all ACL structure in the knee with 30×15×15
mm dimensions. The patient had an arthroscopy and it showed destruction of ACL,
which required ACL reconstruction in the same sitting. Biopsy results showed a
chronic non-specific inflammatory synovial epithelial tissue with increased
vascularity and thickened wall vessels.
