Abstract

We report an unusual case of a 17-years-old male with complaints of pain and swelling of the left knee for the last 3 years with limitation of movement. He presented with spontaneous hemarthrosis of the knee joint. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intra articular mass. Arthroscopic excision was performed and the histology was characteristic of synovial hemangioma. After 1 year, the patient was completely asymptomatic and showed no signs of recurrence.
