Pigmented villonodular synovitis

Clinical Radiology, 2004
Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare benign proliferative growth of the synovium of obscure aetiology with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations and imaging findings. The purpose of this review is to acquaint the reader with the spectrum of imaging features of PVNS using a variety of imaging techniques.

Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis

American Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2006
Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare proliferative disorder that affects the synovium in young and middle-aged adults. Although most believe that it is an inflammatory process, some believe that it is a benign neoplasm. The optimal treatment is surgery. The local recurrence rate after marginal excision for localized PVNS is low.

Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis

Orthopaedic Nursing, 1997
Pigmented villonodular synovitis, a rare tumor of the synovial lining of a joint, is suggested when aspiration of a chronically swollen and painful single joint (usually the knee) yields a brownish fluid. The diagnosis is confirmed by biopsy, and the preferred treatment is complete excision of all involved synovial tissue.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis

Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 1990
Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a benign disease of the synovial membrane of joints, tendon sheaths, or bursae, which nevertheless can cause marked local destruction. Its diagnosis is often delayed because complaints and symptoms are nonspecific. Familiarity with the disease may ensure an earlier diagnosis and consequently early onset of therapy ...

Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis

Radiology, 1950
The literature is replete with reports of what we believe to be a single lesion of the synovial membrane described under various titles. Among these are giant-cell tumor of the synovia, xanthoma, hemorrhagic villous synovitis, sclerosing hemangioma, xanthogranuloma, pigmented giant-cell xanthosarcoma, benign synovioma, and pigmented villonodular ...

PIGMENTED VILLONODULAR SYNOVITIS

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 1996
Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a benign proliferative disorder of the synovium of uncertain cause. It may involve tendon sheaths, bursae, or joints, the latter occurring as diffuse involvement or a localized nodule. This article reviews the clinical features of the disorder and the imaging features of the disease, concentrating on the findings and

Pigmented villonodular synovitis in a child

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1993
The authors present a case of pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) in an adolescent with monarticular involvement of the ankle and without congenital anomalies or sibling involvement. Its rarity in the ankle and in childhood is discussed; a review of the clinical, radiological, and pathological features of PVNS is presented.

Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis of the Shoulder

Orthopedics, 1989
No characteristic clinical presentation of pigmented villonodular synovitis of the shoulder can yet be determined. Symptoms of discomfort and stiffness may appear insidiously or, in some cases, pigmented villonodular synovitis may be found incidentally during surgery for unrelated problems.

Malignancy in pigmented villonodular synovitis

Skeletal Radiology, 1998
Malignant pigmented villonodular synovitis is an extremely rare and controversial disease. We describe malignant change in pigmented villonodular synovitis of the ankle in a patient with an unusually long clinical history. Symptoms began at age 21, metastatic disease developed at age 85, and the patient died 1 year later.

Polyarticular pigmented villonodular synovitis

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1981
Pigmented villonodular synovitis is an unusual benign disease of unknown cause producing circumscribed on diffuse thickening of the synovial lining of joints, tendon sheaths, and bunsae. With rare exceptions, the diffuse form is monarticulan, usually involving the knee.
