We report a case of mucoid degeneration of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Mucoid degeneration of the ACL is a very rare cause of knee pain. There have been only some reported cases of mucoid degeneration of the ACL in the English literature. We reviewed previous reports and summarized clinical features and symptoms, including those found in our case. Magnetic Resonance Imaging is the most useful tool for differentiating mucoid degeneration of the ACL from an intraligamentous ganglion or other lesions in the knee joint. If this disease is considered preoperatively, it can be diagnosed easily based on characteristic findings.
我们报告一例前交叉韧带(ACL)黏液样变性病例。ACL黏液样变性是膝关节疼痛的一种非常罕见的病因。英文文献中仅有一些关于ACL黏液样变性的报道病例。我们回顾了既往报告并总结了临床特征和症状,包括我们病例中发现的情况。磁共振成像(MRI)是区分ACL黏液样变性与韧带内腱鞘囊肿或膝关节其他病变的最有用工具。如果术前考虑到这种疾病,基于特征性表现很容易诊断。
