@entity1141 are rare @entity5 . Their occurrence in long bones of the extremities is rarely reported. A 45-year-old @entity1 presented with @entity158 in his left proximal thigh for a duration of 4   months. Movements of the hip were @entity158 . Radiography revealed an expansile osteolytic lesion in the left proximal femur near the lesser trochanteric region. On MRI, the lesion showed a homogenous signal enhancement with no cortical disruption. Extended curettage and bone grafting was performed. On gross examination, the curetted specimen was a yellowish-white mucoid material. Histopathology showed a @entity5 consisting of spindle-shaped and stellate-shaped cells with widely separated @entity4494 , suggestive of @entity3291 . At 2   years follow-up, there were no signs of recurrence and the @entity1 was doing well with excellent hip and knee function.
