An expansile lesion in the distal tibia involving the articular surface of the tibiofibular joint and tibiotalar joint; it appears solid with an intermediate signal on T2 and hypointense signal on T1 and markedly hyperintense signal on proton density fat suppression. There is extensive local cortical destruction.
Case Discussion
