Arthroscopic excision of a giant-cell tumour of the ligamentum teres.

Primary giant-cell tumour of soft tissue arising in the ligamentum teres has not been previously described. We report a case of such a tumour in a 46-year-old woman. The lesion was only detected at the time of hip arthroscopy despite pre-operative MRI being performed. It was successfully excised arthroscopically with resolution of the symptoms.
