Sažetak (engleski)

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is a rare disease characterized by the proliferation of the synovial membrane of a joint, tendon sheath, or bursa. TGCTs in joints are subdivided into the diffuse or localized type. The localized TGCT most frequently affects the knee and may occur in any knee compartment. The most common localization is the Hoffa's fat pad, followed by the suprapatellar pouch and the posterior capsule. Here, we describe a case of a histopathologically proven TGCT of the knee, found in an unusual localization in the deep infrapatellar bursa, which was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging. The tumor was entirely arthroscopically resected. The patient had no further complaints following the operation, and there was no recurrence at the 18-month follow-up. Even though TGCT of the knee is uncommon, it should not be overlooked by orthopedic and trauma surgeons, and excision should be regarded as a reliable treatment option. The form of surgical treatment, either open or arthroscopic, should be determined based on a combination of the surgeon's preference and the best approach to the anatomical location of the disease.
