“…Nevertheless, this hypothesis requires further epidemiological and clinical evaluation. True instability of the knee is not a commonly reported finding [17]. Our data are consistent with this, since we found no instability of the knee in any of our three cases.…”

The localized form of pigmented villonodular synovitis (LPVS) is a lesion characterized by focal involvement of the synovial membrane. The knee is the most commonly affected joint. We report three cases of LPVS of the knee which were not diagnosed upon clinical evaluation. The aim is to bring the attention of clinicians to this pathological entity, which is often regarded as extremely rare and is therefore not considered in the early differential diagnosis of various knee derangements. Diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopy was performed. The lesions were completely resected and patohistological findings confirmed the diagnosis of LPVS. All of our three patients have remained asymptomatic at 8, 10, and 12-month follow-ups.

“…Radiation as an adjuvant [15][16][17] and as sole treatment 33 has been reported for PVNS, with success. Jaffe et al 34 suggested 1.5 Gy daily, totaling 15 to 25 Gy for recurrent cases.…”

“…Historically, adjuvant radiation therapy has been used to treat pigmented villonodular tenosynovitis (PVNS) with lesion regression for both synovial and interosseous cases without joint stiffness. [15][16][17] Our center has described success with treating PVNS, including PVNS of the wrist and hand, with radiation therapy. 18 Other studies have described local GCTTS tumor control in cases where complete excision was not possible with adjuvant external beam radiotherapy 19 and surface mold brachytherapy.…”

“…[18][19][20] Irradiation cannot be recommended for younger patients, because of possible carcinogenic effects and because of the high incidence of induced joint stiffness. Localized nodular joint motion due to destruction of joint cartilage and/or bone erosion), arthrodesis or arthroplasty is indicated.…”

Pigmented villonodular synovitis of the elbow

We present a 16 year old student with right elbow pigmentary villonodular synovitis. Clinical diagnosis, radiological features, MRI findings, biopsy results, management and follow up are discussed. MRI is the diagnostic modality of choice and assists the surgeon for a proper incision. Correlation of all the clinical aspects and the histologic features is usually required for definitive diagnosis. A complete surgical synovectomy provides the best chance for cure, but the goal of eradication of this benign process must be balanced against the morbidity of more aggressive surgery. The patient made a full recovery at the end of 4 years and leads a normal life. Pigmented villonodular synovitis should be included in the differential diagnosis of elbow monoarticular joint swelling in young and middle-aged adults.
