Tumor gigantocelular sinovial do joelho

Abstract: rEsUMOTumor gigantocelular sinovial é uma neoplasia benigna, raramente sendo relatada na forma de metástase maligna. A localização mais comum de ocorrer um tumor gigantocelular sinovial é na mão e as mais infrequentes são tornozelo e joelho. No presente estudo os autores têm como objetivo descrever um caso raro de tumor gigantocelular sinovial localizado no joelho e o tratamento escolhido. A artroscopia demonstrou, nesse caso, ser o método ideal para o tratamento da lesão, uma vez que permitiu abordagem pouco … Show more

“…We observed that some published studies have described the lesion as synovial giant cell tumor, while others have described it as localized pigmented villonodular synovitis, not knowing whether the lesion is intra-synovial or from the tendon sheath (10) . The nomenclature proposed by Granowitz et al (5) determines that the term pigmented villonodular synovitis should be used for intra-articular findings; pigmented villonodular bursitis for lesions that are localized in bursas; and pigmented villonodular tenosynovitis for lesions originating from the tendon sheath, also known as giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath.…”

“…The incidence of PVNS is 1.8 new cases each year per million individuals [22] , it is common in 4 th & 5 th decades individuals [23] , some published studies described it as synovial giant cell, on the other hand it was described as localized pigmented villonodular synovitis by other studies [24] While some authors suggested that synovial overgrowth may increase the pressure inside the involved joint which may cause bone erosion, others believed that bone erosion is caused by a substance released by synovium which may lead to joint destruction, still the mechanism of bone erosion is not clear [25] . PVNS has different possible etiology suggestions; repeated trauma, frequent hemarthrosis, benign neoplasm & reactionary to unknown stimulus, so it has not established yet what causes this pathology [26] .…”
