abstract

  • Primary patellar neoplasms are uncommon and metastasis to the patella is rarer still. Very few reports have been published in the literature (Stoler & Staple, 1969; Keeley, 1973; Gall et al, 1974; Ashby & Dappen, 1976; Hussey, 1976; Kwa & Nade, 1989). We present a case of primary bronchogenic carcinoma presenting as a huge swelling around the knee owing to a metastatic lesion in the patella.
