Intra-articular fibroma-like perivascular epithelioid tumor (PEComa) mimicking tenosynovial giant cell tumor, diffuse type.
Skeletal Radiology 2019 June
Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms composed of perivascular epithelioid cells that are immunoreactive for both melanocytic and myogenic markers. Recently, a fibroma-like PEComa associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) has been identified. We describe the first intra-articular case of a fibroma-like PEComa in a 44-year-old man who presented with a hypointense intra-articular knee mass, which was mistaken for tenosynovial giant cell tumor, diffuse type. This case report demonstrates that fibroma-like PEComa should be included in the extended differential diagnosis of intra-articular soft tissue masses. In addition, given their strong association with TSC mutations, a diagnosis of fibroma-like PEComa should trigger an evaluation for TSC.
