Objectives: To describe the percutaneous image-guided treatment of mucoid degeneration of the ACL causing deep knee pain on flexion in patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis.
Methods: Five patients with mucoid degeneration of the ACL complicating knee osteoarthritis underwent percutaneous image-guided steroid bupivacaine ACL sleeve injections over a 3-year period.
Results: There were four males and one female of mean age 54 (range 48-59 years). Each patient had Kellgren and Lawrence grade 4 medial compartment knee osteoarthritis with coexistent mucoid degeneration of the ACL sleeve. Each patient complained of deep knee pain on flexion as a dominant symptom. Each patient underwent image-guided (CT or ultrasound) steroid bupivacaine injection of the ACL sleeve resulting in symptom resolution and improved mobility for a mean duration of 8 months, (range 6-15 months.) CONCLUSION: Mucoid degeneration of the ACL should be sought in patients with osteoarthritis presenting with deep knee pain on flexion. Image-guided ACL sleeve injection in affected patients may result in symptom resolution and potential deferral of planned knee replacement surgery.
Advances In Knowledge: Emphasises Image guided percutaneous treatment of Mucoid degeneration of ACL in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Introduction: Mucoid degeneration of the cruciate ligament is a well-known entity, but symptomatic lesions are rare. It is even rarer to find symptomatic posterior cruciate ligament mucoid degeneration than the anterior cruciate ligament.
Case Report: A 63-year-old male presented to our hospital complaining of posterior knee pain was induced when the knee approached full flexion without episodes of trauma, despite conservative treatment over the preceding 8 months, his symptoms persisted.

To investigate the clinicopathological features of orbital and eyelid inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs). A retrospective analysis was conducted among 13 patients with IMTs treated at Tianjin Eye Hospital between January 2000 and October 2023. The clinicopathological data, immunohistochemical staining characteristics, molecular phenotypes, and follow-up outcomes were collected and analyzed.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) mucoid degeneration is an underdiagnosed condition that occurs when mucinous material develops in the ACL in the absence of synovial lining. Several authors have diagnosed this condition, discussed their own personal observations, and put forward their own suggestions for management. When diagnosed, one important strategy for management entails "debulking" the ACL using an arthroscopic debridement.

To document a case of `preliminary` identification of Alternaria sp (a phaeohyphomycotic agent) based on morphology in tissue section in a patient with allergic fungal rhinosinusitis. A 25-year-old male, a known asthmatic in a post Covid -19 state, presented with headache, facial swelling and nasal block with discharge of brownish mucoid material. Debrided material from the right maxillary antrum and middle turbinate showed brownish mucoid material admixed with firm to hard degenerated bony spicules sent in formalin and subjected for histopathological examination.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ganglion cysts and mucoid degeneration of the ACL are 2 distinct nontraumatic lesions of the ACL that occur discretely but can coexist. The exact etiopathogenesis still needs to be clarified. Mucoid degeneration presents as pain mainly on the posterior or posterolateral aspect of the knee and loss of terminal flexion and extension range of motion of the knee.
