Abstract EN
A variety of cystic lesions are encountered around the knee joint.
Particularly, the prepatellar region is the site of soft tissue lesions including mainly bursal fluid collections, joint synovial herniation and tendons ganglia.
We report here the case of an exceptional prepatellar posttraumatic epidermal inclusion cyst mistaken for a prepatellar bursitis.
With this case report, orthopedic surgeons should widen the array of the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with a post-traumatic prepatellar slow growing soft tissue mass, making epidermoid inclusion cyst a valid possibility to consider
Abstract FRE
Une variété de lésions kystiques est rencontrée autour du genou.
La région prépatellaire est particulièrement un site propice des lésions des tissus mous, comprenant surtout des collections liquidiennes (bursite) et des kystes synoviaux.
Nous rapportons ici le cas d'un kyste d’inclusion épidermique prépatellaire post-traumatique exceptionnel pris pour une bursite prépatellaire.
Les chirurgiens orthopédistes devraient ainsi élargir le diagnostic différentiel chez les patients qui présentent une masse molle prépatellaire post-traumatique, incluant la possibilité d’un kyste épidermoïde d’inclusion.
