Abstract:
Intracapsular or paraarticular chondromas are seldom mentioned in the literature. They generally occur in the area around the knee, and must be recognized and differentiated from other soft-tissue tumors that appear at this site such as sarcomas containing focal calcification or ossification, and from other cartilaginous lesions such as synovial chondromatosis. We present a case of intracapsular chondroma of the knee in a 63-year-old woman. A biopsy was performed to rule out the possibility of a soft-tissue sarcoma.
