Giant-Cell Tumor of the Patella

HAMPAR KELIKIAN M.D.1 and IRVIN CLAYTON M.D.1

1 Department of Orthopaedics, Northwestern University and Chicago Wesley Memorial Hospital, Chicago

Giant-cell tumors of the patella are rare. Twenty-eight cases, including the two presented here, have been reported in the literature. Resection of the patella gives the best prognosis. Patellectomy should be combined with synovectomy if the joint has been invaded by the lesion, provided there is no suspicion of malignant growth.
