Hyderabad: Orthopaedic surgeons at SLG Hospitals on Sunday said they have treated a giant cell benign tumour from the patella (knee cap) region near the knee joint of a 30-year-old woman, who was admitted with severe knee pain.

Clinical assessment revealed that the woman had a giant cell tumour (non-malignant) in the patella region. The surgical procedure was performed three months ago, and the patient was being observed for possibilities of a recurrence ever since. The patient is now doing fine and has returned to regular daily routine, doctors said.
