The term “massive” was used to describe its unusual size. Furthermore, its pathological features were not typical of prepatellar bursitis. The mass contained orange-colored liquid and a piece of pink colored soft tissue 4 cm in diameter. Histologicolly, areas of hyalinization and calcification were noted in its wall. The material inside contained cholesterin crystals and foreign body giant cells as wells as a fibrin like material. Thus, the mass resembled a ganglion or a Baker’s cyst rather than prepatellar bursitis.}, number={2}, publisher={Turkish Association of Orthopaedics and Traumatology}
