We present a case of huge fibrous histiocytoma of the knee joint in a 41 years old woman. The patient have a sign of slight extension limitation and a swelling on the lateral side of the knee joint. The oval shape lesion was originating from the anterior joint capsule of the knee and protruding into the femoral intercondylar notch and lateral compartment. The mass was removed through mini-arthrotomy. Histologic study revealed a fibrohistiocytic tumor, composed of spindle cell, giant cell and foamy histiocyte.
