Classification of Neoplasms of the LCF

Version : 20240228 Reports on neoplasms of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) are scarce. Among them, we can distinguish malignant and benign neoplasms. We categorized xanthomas and synovial cysts as distinct types of pathological alterations in tissues closely tumors. Primary of the LCF tumors are possible from various types of connective tissue and theoretically from nervous tissue. Neoplasms of the ligament can also be the result of metastasis and infiltration. Classification of Neoplasms of the LCF (Vers. 2.1.0) 1. Primary malignant tumors Malignant chondroma 2. Primary benign tumors Tenosynovial giant cell tumor Pigmented villonodular synovitis Synovial chondromatosis Synovial osteochondroma Fibromyxoid pseudotumor 3. Metastasis and infiltration 4. Synovial cysts 5. Xanthoma References Malignant chondroma LeConte, R.G., Lee, W.E., Belk, W.P. (1925) Enchon...
