Abstract
A 69-year-old patient with unexplained pain of the right knee reported no prior trauma.
A soft tissue tumor was identified using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The tumor
showed low signal intensity on T1-weighted images, high signal intensity on T2, and
peripheral enhancement on gadolinium-enhanced MRI. Perioperative observation revealed
that the tumor was partly adhesive to the anterior knee joint capsule, but not to
the patellar tendon.
