Para-articular osteochondroma, a rare benign tumor near joints, was diagnosed in a woman with an infrapatellar calcified mass. Definitive diagnosis required surgical resection and pathology, distinguishing it from other bone tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Oncology
  • Musculoskeletal Radiology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Osteochondromas are typically found on long bones, rarely near joints.
  • Para-articular osteochondroma is an exceptionally rare variant of osteochondroma.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial due to potential misdiagnosis with malignant bone tumors.

Observation:

  • A 59-year-old female presented with a calcified mass in the infrapatellar region.
  • The mass's location near the knee joint raised diagnostic challenges.
  • Initial imaging suggested differential diagnoses including chondrosarcoma and synovial chondromatosis.

Findings:

  • Surgical resection of the infrapatellar mass was performed.
  • Pathology examination of the specimen confirmed para-articular osteochondroma.

  • Histological analysis was essential to differentiate from other intra-articular pathologies.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the rarity of para-articular osteochondroma.
    • Emphasizes the importance of surgical pathology in diagnosing rare bone tumors.
    • Contributes to understanding the clinical presentation and diagnostic challenges of para-articular osteochondroma.
