Abstract:
Primary lymphoma of bone is an uncommon bone disease typically occurring in the pelvis, spine, and ribs. Only five cases have been reported as beginning in the patella. Here, we report a case of a patient who presented with persistent knee pain one year after a patellar fracture. After an inconclusive CT-guided biopsy, he underwent an open patellar biopsy with frozen section and curettage and grafting. The pathology was consistent with primary lymphoma of the patella. We review the patient’s workup and treatment course.
