HEMANGIOMA OF THE KNEE JOINT

Julian E. Jacobs M.D.1 and F. Wayne Lee M.D.1

1 Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Charlotte Memorial Hospital

Articular hemangiomata can be diagnosed prior to surgery in practically all cases, provided the correlation between the clinical picture and the pathological process is fully appreciated. These signs are significant: (1) the presence of a circumscribed mass, which is covered by normal skin and which increases in size when the extremity is in the dependent position; (2) the presence of blood after puncture of the mass; and (3) the disappearance of the contrast substance roentgenographically after injection into the vascular area. Surgical excision offers excellent end results.
