An Active Giant Cell Tumor of the Patella: A Case Report

Abstract: Primary neoplasms of the patella account for less than 1% of all primary bone tumors of the lower extremity, the most frequent of them being the giant cell tumor of bone, the chondroblastoma, and the aneurysmal bone cyst. Herein, we report the case of a 29-year-old woman with an active giant cell tumor of the patella (GCTP) with its clinical and radiological features and a brief review of the literature.

“…The proposed technique was tested on a PC with Intel Core i5-7300U 2.7 GHz processor and 8GB of RAM and the code was written using Matlab R2015a. Fifty MRI images that include T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and PD in coronal and sagittal view planes were used in the testing [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54]. The technique was able to accurately segment the tumours in all of the cases regardless of the variations in intensity values, size, and position of each tumour with respect to other surrounding non-tumourous regions as shown in Figures 4-16.…”

“…The CBL might attach to the humerus, medial epicondyle or a fibrous band of the medial intramuscular septum, i.e. Struther’s ligament [ 2 , 8 , 9 , 14 , 19 ], it may also inserted to the tendinous part of the latissimus dorsi [ 4 ]. Olewnik et al [ 14 ] described a very unusual type of CBL which had a distal attachment on an olecranon.…”
