title: Arthroscopic treatment of an intra-articular hemangioma in the posterior compartment of the knee.
abstract: We report the case of a 37-year-old patient presenting with knee pain and recurrent effusion without instability due to an intra-articular hemangioma in the posterior compartment of the knee. MRI showed features suggesting a diagnosis of hemangioma. Arthroscopic excision of the tumor was performed and the diagnosis was confirmed histologically. There was no recurrence after 5 years of follow-up.
