Abstract
A patient with a benign bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP) located in the anterior knee was treated with resection in preparation for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The BPOP reoccurred and was treated with re-resection at the time of TKA. The BPOP reoccurred a second time and underwent malignant transformation to a fungating high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma with metastatic lesions. This case highlights the rare potential of a previously benign BPOP to undergo malignant transformation after recurrence. A wide margin resection may be considered primarily when surgery is indicated to prevent recurrence and its potential sequelae. [Orthopedics. 2024;47(6):e322-e326.].
