Giant cell tumor of tendon sheath (GCTTS) is a common soft tissue tumor in hands and feet; however, it is rare in knee joints.
We present a case of a 52-year-old female who had a retropatellar tendon giant cell tumor (GCT) in the right knee, causing vague anterior knee pain.
Anterior knee pain is a challenging complaint in orthopedics due to the multiple causative reasons, the combination of several complex etiologies, and the lack of clear guidelines for an effective treatment.
This case report aims to shed light on unlikely pathologies in complex cases. GCTTS is a rare lesion to affect the retropatellar region. However, we must keep it in mind when dealing with challenging anterior vague knee pain complaints. A comprehensive examination is essential; surgical experience and extended follow-up are mandatory for avoiding complications.
腱鞘巨细胞瘤（GCTTS）是手足部常见的软组织肿瘤；然而，在膝关节中较为罕见。
我们报告一例52岁女性，其右膝髌后肌腱出现巨细胞瘤（GCT），导致膝前部隐痛。
膝前部疼痛在骨科领域是一个具有挑战性的主诉，原因在于致病因素多样、多种复杂病因相互交织以及缺乏有效的治疗明确指南。
本病例报告旨在阐明复杂病例中不太常见的病理情况。GCTTS是一种罕见的累及髌后区域的病变。然而，在处理具有挑战性的膝前部隐痛主诉时，我们必须将其考虑在内。全面的检查至关重要；手术经验以及长期随访对于避免并发症是必不可少的。
