Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis of the Knee Joint: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare, benign, but potentially locally aggressive and recurrent condition characterized by synovial proliferation and hemosiderin deposition inside the joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae. It usually affects the large joints such as hip, knee, and ankle. We report a case of PVNS of the knee joint in a young female which was treated by subtotal synovectomy alone without the use of adjuvants. At the 14-month follow-up, the patient was pain free and had no signs of disease recurrence.

The disease is difficult to diagnose after arthroplasty, since magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearances are subject to metal artifact making them less than ideal. Case Report: A case of a 61yearold woman with PVNS after unicompartmental knee art...

that usually arise in the hands and feet. On rare occasions, this tumor arises from the capsule or paraarticular soft tissue of large joints, such as the knee (1). These lesions should be differentiated from synovial chodromatosis, localized pigmented villonodular synovitis and other calcified lesions occurring about the joints. We report here on a case of intracapsular and paraarticular chondr...
