Abstract
We report on a 13-year-old boy who was found to have a fibroma of the tendo n sheath associated with the patellar tendon and within Hoffa's fat pad of the knee. This benign tumor has never been described in this location previ ously. The MRI characteristics are correlated with the histologic findings.
