Giant-cell tumors of the patella.
This study describes the clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic features, and discusses the management options of 11 cases of benign giant-cell tumors of the patella seen over 20 years. Fine needle aspiration cytology was a useful preoperative diagnostic tool. Ptellectomy and reconstruction of the extensor apparatus is the favored treatment option with curettage and bone grafting restricted to selected localized lesions.
