Introduction:
Synovial hemangioma is a rare benign condition that is seen predominantly in the adolescent age group. Patients commonly present with pain and swelling of the involved joint. Here, we report a case of recurrent synovial hemangioma in a 10-year-old girl.
Case Report:
A 10-year old presented with complaints of recurrent swelling in her right knee of 3 years duration. She had complaints of pain, swelling, and deformity of her right knee. She had undergone a surgery to excise the swelling earlier for similar complaints elsewhere. She remained asymptomatic for a year, after which swelling reappeared.
Conclusion:
Synovial hemangioma is a rare benign condition that is often missed and needs to be promptly addressed to prevent damage to the articular cartilage. The chance of recurrence is high.
