Patellar duplication is a rare asymptomatic condition. The diagnosis is often made following a traumatic event associated with an injury to the knee extensor mechanism. The treatment is often surgical and consists of removal of the smaller part of the patella with tendon reinsertion; the case presented here did not have a sleeve avulsion fracture of patella but still developed a osseous lesion resembling patella. The possible theory for this finding could be due to a hematoma formation in Hoffa\'s fat pad that could have been calcified, then later ossified. This case is being report due to its rare occurrence.
