Abstract
A 32-year-old man complained of left gonalgia for 2 years and noticed a soft tumor
on the lateral side of his left knee. Roentgenograms showed some small calcified shadows
at the same site of the tumor. Arhtroscopy revealed a lateral meniscus to be an incomplete
discoid with degenerative tears. A the operation, a multilocular soft part tumor was
noticed in continuity with the lateral meniscus macroscopically. Small, loose bodies
and gelatinous fluid were found in the cavity of the tumor. Histologically loose bodies
were chondroma and the soft part tumor was meniscal cyst. The meniscal cyst wall contained
hyaline cartilagenous tissue. Therefore it was thought that chondroma originated from
the cyst wall.
