We report a rare case of glomus tumor that occurred in the lateral joint of the knee. A 54-year-old man was referred to us with a 3-year history of lateral pain in the left knee and the diagnosis of lateral meniscus injury. Physical examination revealed a small trigger point localized just on the lateral joint space. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a very small round mass in the subcutaneous tissue at the level of the lateral joint space.
Excisional biopsy was performed, and the histology was characteristic of a glomus tumor. The patient was asymptomatic immediately after the operation. At the 3-year follow-up after the operation, no recurrence was seen.
我们报告一例罕见的发生于膝关节外侧关节的血管球瘤病例。一名54岁男性因左膝外侧疼痛3年并被诊断为外侧半月板损伤转诊至我院。体格检查发现一个小的触发点,恰好位于外侧关节间隙处。磁共振成像(MRI)显示在外侧关节间隙水平的皮下组织中有一个非常小的圆形肿块。
进行了切除活检,组织学检查显示为血管球瘤特征。患者术后立即无症状。术后3年随访未见复发。
