AbstractHoffa's fat pad can be affected by a variety of tumors. Schwannomas are benign and typically solitary neoplasms of the peripheral nerve sheath; they are made up of the neoplastic Schwann cells and are usually located eccentrically. Malignant schwannomas are extremely uncommon. Here we report a case of an intra-articular schwannoma of the knee. A 54-year-old man presented with a painful lump in the medial aspect of the knee. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-circumscribed intra-articular mass, which was later diagnosed as an intra-articular schwannoma based on biopsy findings.

Knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been shown to be sensitive and specific for the detection of knee meniscal lesions and cruciate ligament injuries, and it is more reliable than clinical examination itself. 1 This has led to the suggestion that general practitioners (GPs) could use knee MRI in the assessment of these pathologies, making appropriate and informed decisions. 2
