Abstract
Synovial haemangiomas are a rare cause of recurrent knee effusions. The problem usually
presents in childhood, but the diagnosis is often not made for many years. Clinical,
laboratory, and radiographic diagnosis is often non-specific, leading to prolonged
diagnostic uncertainty. Arteriography, venography, thermography, and computer tomography
may be useful once the diagnosis is made. Arthroscopy should be considered early on
to make the diagnosis and biopsy the tumor so that further surgery, studies, and treatment
can be carried out.
