Synovial knee affected in multiple hemangiomatosis.
Synovial hemangioma is a vascular lesion of joint cavities. It is a rare cause of pain and spontaneous hemarthrosis in the paediatric age group. It is often seen as an internal derangement of the knee. We present the case of a 37-year-old woman with a history of recurrent effusions of this joint. The MRI showed a soft tissue mass affecting the Hoffa's fat pad and the synovial surrounding the patella. Other hemangiomas were detected in other sides of the body. Through arthroscopy, we eliminated all the pathological tissue of the knee. The patient remains asymptomatic after 1 year.
