Patellar neoplasms are rare. We present a case of aggressive giant cell tumor of patella with extensive involvement of patella and patellar tendon. Its management with wide resection of tumor and reconstruction of extensor mechanism with patella bone tendon allograft is discussed. The patient has good results at 3 years follow-up.
