Abstract
The infrapatellar fat pad of Hoffa is an intracapsular structure which is a common site for inflammatory processes. However, it can also be involved by neoplastic pathologies. We report a case of synovial hemangioma in this location which presented a diagnostic challenge due to unusual clinical presentation. The patient was managed with multiple sessions of ultrasound-guided injection sclerotherapy with partial resolution of the lesion.Keywords
