Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare benign neoplastic proliferation of synovial tissue which is typically localised and usually responds well to surgery and/or radiotherapy. We present a case of unusually aggressive of PVNS of the hip in a 73-year-old woman.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a rare and benign but potentially locally aggressive disease that should be considered in younger patients who present with monoarticular joint symptoms and pathology. We present a 30-year-old Sudanese woman with a huge mass arising from the right hip joint. A multimodality radiological approach to investigation and diagnosis is demonstrated and discussed. Hi...

The localized form of pigmented villonodular synovitis of the knee is a rare condition with non-specific symptoms. This makes diagnosis especially difficult when the meniscus is affected. A full assessment with several imaging modalities can help support the preoperative diagnosis. But in the case reported here, the full clinical and paraclinical assessment (X-rays, CT arthrography and MRI) was...

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVS) is an uncommon, usually monoarticular disorder encountered mainly in adults. A boy and a girl, both 7 years old, were referred because of recurrent knee effusions. Both were medically treated for other rheumatic disorders for five years. PVS was diagnosed by arthroscopy and synovectomy was curative in both cases.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare, benign, proliferative disease of the synovial membrane of joints, tendon sheaths, and bursas. It usually presents in two forms, diffuse and localized. A 35-year-old male, since adolescence, presented left knee pain with palpable, multiple nodular tumorous lesions in the infrapatellar fat pad. An arthroscopic excisional biopsy was performed. Mul...
