[Parosteal osteosarcoma as a cause of chronic knee pain in an athlete].
The present case of a rare, however existing disease, which remained undetected for years, is to underline the necessity of diligent diagnosis. We report about a 23-year-old football player who complained about permanent pain in the right knee from the age of 13. In spite of repeated sports- and orthopedic-specific examinations correct diagnosis could only be established eight years after the onset of the symptoms. Differential diagnosis and the present mode of the therapy of this tumor close to the knee joint are demonstrated.
