Angioleiomyoma in the posterior knee: A case report and literature review

The presence of an angioleiomyoma at the knee joint is very rare and few cases are reported in the literature. To the authors' knowledge this is the first time an angioleiomyoma in the posterior knee has been described. In case of unexplained and persistent pain in and around the knee, clinicians should be aware of the atypical locations of this tumor, considering that its surgical excision alone may relieve symptoms permanently.
