This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

Primary patellar neoplasms are uncommon and metastasis to the patella is rarer still. Very few reports have been published in the literature (Stoler & Staple, 1969; Keeley, 1973; Gall et al, 1974; Ashby & Dappen, 1976; Hussey, 1976; Kwa & Nade, 1989). We present a case of primary bronchogenic carcinoma presenting as a huge swelling around the knee owing to a metastatic lesion in the patella.

Key Words: Metastases • Patella • Bronchogenic carcinoma
