  • arthroscopic treatment for localized Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis of the knee
    Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2000
    Co-Authors: Sungjae Kim, Sangjin Shin, Namhong Choi, Euitak Choo
    Abstract:

    This study investigated 11 patients with localized Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis of the knee that was diagnosed and treated by arthroscopic technique. There were six male and five female patients between the ages of 15 and 59 years (mean, 34.6 years). Seven patients reported extension limitation without joint line tenderness. Four of the 11 patients had a history of trauma before the onset of knee symptoms. All patients were treated by arthroscopic resection with partial synovectomy. The most common involved site was the anteromedial synovium near the anterior horn of the medial meniscus (five patients). The remaining cases were located in the anterior fat pad (two patients), suprapatellar pouch, posteromedial compartment, medial gutter, and the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus. Nine patients had one mass, and the remaining patients each had two or three masses. There was no evidence of recurrence at followup for an average of 29.9 months (range, 24-48 months). Arthroscopy is effective in the diagnosis of localized Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis with minimal morbidity, and complete arthroscopic excision can be considered the definitive treatment for localized Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis.

  • Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis of the foot and ankle.
    Foot & ankle international, 2004
    Co-Authors: Earl W. Brien, Damen M. Sacoman, Joseph M. Mirra
    Abstract:

    Background: Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (PVNS) is a rare disease of uncertain etiology usually affecting the synovium of weightbearing joints. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 11 patients...

  • Multifocal Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis in a child. A case report.
    Clinical orthopaedics and related research, 1996
    Co-Authors: Robert M. Kay, Jeffrey J. Eckardt, Joseph M. Mirra
    Abstract:

    Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis is a well-described disease that almost universally involves a single site. This is a report of an unusual case of multiple site involvement of Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis in a child. In addition to multiple site involvement, the case is unusual for several reasons : asymmetric involvement, involvement of both upper and lower extremities, involvement of the pes anserine tendons, and the patient is an otherwise healthy child.

  • A rare case of diffuse Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis after total knee arthroplasty.
    The Journal of arthroplasty, 2011
    Co-Authors: Julius K. Oni, Russell J. Cavallo
    Abstract:

    Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis is a benign, proliferative disorder of unknown etiology that mainly affects the synovium of the joint, bursa, and the tendon sheath. The most common joint affected is the knee. Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis presents in either of 2 distinct forms, localized or diffuse. In this report, we describe a case of diffuse Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis that presented in the knee 18 months after total knee arthroplasty. The diagnosis was suggested by histologic analysis of bloody aspirate and by abnormal synovial proliferation noted at arthroscopy and confirmed by histologic analysis of the resected tissue.
