Synovial venous hemangioma of the knee joint.
Hemangiomas rarely involve joints and less than 100 synovial hemangiomas have been reported. A case of a localised, intermediate type of venous angioma in the knee-joint causing severe knee pain is reported here, and the characteristic features are discussed. Arthroscopy is suggested as a valuable diagnostic procedure in finding and examining such tumors.
