Case: Our patient is a 34-year-old male aHthlete who presented for consultation after left knee discomfort and pressure for greater than 2 years. Advanced imaging revealed a nonspecific intraarticular suprapatellar lesion with subsequent ultrasound-guided core biopsy demonstrating a spindle cell proliferation consistent with superficial fibromatosis. Thus, the patient underwent an open en bloc surgical resection by a fellowship-trained orthopaedic oncologist. Conclusion: As the first reported case of intraarticular fibromatosis of the knee, this case highlights the importance of a thoughtful approach to the management of nonspecific intraarticular lesions through a comprehensive and collaborative strategy to decrease patient morbidity and optimize outcomes.

Case: A 25-year-old woman sustained an acute tear of her superior anterior-posterior labrum with arthroscopic identification of an anomalous origin of the long head of the biceps arising exclusively from the supraspinatus tendon with no attachment to the supraglenoid tubercle or superior labrum. Conclusion: This is the first report of a symptomatic superior labrum anterior-posterior tear in a patient with a rare anatomic confluence of the long head of the biceps to the supraspinatus. We recommend addressing the labral pathology with utilization of a standard technique because satisfactory results can be realized with isolated labral fixation to the glenoid, despite the absence of an attached biceps tendon.
