Hyaline fibromatosis syndrome (HFS) is a rare, progressive, autosomal recessive disorder that presents with connective tissue deposition of amorphous hyaline material within the musculocutaneous tissue and/or visceral organs. HFS presents clinically in infancy or early childhood and can result in severe disability and life threatening complications. Given the rarity of the disorder, the imaging characteristics of HFS are seldom described in the literature. We describe a case of a 25-year-old patient presenting with bilateral knee pain, limited range of motion in her extremities, and lower extremity weakness with detailed MR imaging demonstrating the first case of multifocal intra-articular deposition of hyaline material within several joints.
