Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (GCT) is a rare, benign disorder involving the joint's synovial lining, tendon sheath or bursa. It can be classified as localized or diffuse based on its pattern and behavior. Localized form is extremely rare in knee joint. We present an unusual case of localized form of GCT in Hoffa's fat pad in a young female, treated with arthroscopic resection and monitored for over two years with no recurrence. Despite its rarity, GCT of Hoffa's fat pad should be considered in cases of non-traumatic knee pain.
腱鞘巨细胞瘤(GCT)是一种罕见的良性疾病,累及关节滑膜、腱鞘或滑囊。根据其形态和行为可分为局限性或弥漫性。局限性腱鞘巨细胞瘤在膝关节极为罕见。我们报告了一例年轻女性发生于Hoffa脂肪垫的局限性腱鞘巨细胞瘤的罕见病例,该病例接受了关节镜下切除术,并进行了两年多的随访,无复发。尽管罕见,但对于非创伤性膝关节疼痛病例,应考虑Hoffa脂肪垫腱鞘巨细胞瘤的可能。
