The scintigraphy was found to be of valuableassitance in revealing the presence of this lesion at the knee and CT-scan was likewise usefulfor its precision in localizing the tumor as a basis for deciding upon a viable surgical approach.MRI did not contribute some date. After surgical resection of the tumor, a complete relief ofthe symptoms was experienced in both patients.
