Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a proliferative disease that affects the synovial joint, tendon and bursa. PVNS can form a nodular structure in any joint, but it most commonly affects the knee joint and is rare in the foot and ankle joint. PVNS is divided into two types. Localized-type PVNS exhibits focal involvement with a nodular mass, while diffuse-type PVNS involves the entire synovium. Synovitis of the affected joint can also destroy cartilage and bone. Diffuse type accounts for 75% of PVNS and has a reported recurrence rate of 12.2% to 46%; aggressive synovectomy is recommended as the most effective treatment. In localized-type PVNS, only arthroscopic partial synovectomy is effective with a lower recurrence rate. We report a patient with severe ankle joint arthritis induced by diffusetype PVNS. The patient was treated by lateral malleolar ostectomy and ankle arthrodesis with a plate and screws via a lateral approach.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) in ankle is relatively uncommon. This disorder results in increased proliferation of synovium causing villous or nodular changes containing histiocytes, fibroblasts, multinucleated giant cell, and hemosiderin. PVNS is classified into two different type : localized and diffuse. Diffuse type of PVNS in ankle is more common than localized type. Also, recurrence of diffuse type is more frequent. We report a case of diffuse type of PVNS which was recurred soon after the excision.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare, benign, proliferating disease affecting the synovium of joints, bursae, and tendon sheaths. The knee is the most common site of involvement and accounts for up to 80% of cases. Involvement of the shoulder is extremely rare. Only 1 case of involvement of the subacromial space has been reported worldwide. We report a case of localized extra-articular PVNS of the subacromial space that was satisfactorily treated with marginal excision; the disease has not recurred during an 18-month follow-up period. The clinical manifestation, treatment, and prognosis of extra-articular PVNS are poorly understood, but if the lesion is left untreated, it can invade the surrounding soft tissue and joint. Therefore, we believe that early diagnosis and treatment are important for the satisfactory management of PVNS.

Most pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is occurred in knee joint and finger of hand. PVNS is rarely occurred in shoulder joint. In English and French literatures, less than 30 cases were reported. We report 3 PVNS cases with rotator cuff tears, which was treated by arthroscoic extensive synovectomy, debridement and rotator cuff repair. The PVNS with rotator cuff tear in shoulder joint was rarely reported in the Korean literature.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis(PVNS) usually presents as a benign proliferative monoarticular arthritis that affects the knee in 80% of cases, followed in frequency by the hip, ankle, and calcaneocuboid joint. PVNS rarely affects temporomandibular joint area. Patients typically complain of pain, locking, and recurrent swelling. Tumor progression limits the range of movement of the joint and causes it to become stiff and firm. Sometimes a palpable mass can be appreciated. Aggressive form of PVNS invades into adjacent bones and soft tissues, is confused with other types of neoplasia. Here we report 2 cases of the PVNS on a temporomadibular

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare proliferative disorder that affects synovium, tendon sheath and bursa. Although the condition can present in any joint, knee joint is the most commonly affected site and only 2.5% of cases occur in foot and ankle joint. PVNS occurs in two types: localized and diffuse. Localized type is characterized by focal involvement of the synovium with either nodular or pedunculated masses, Diffuse type affects virtually the entire synovium. Diffuse type has reported more recurrence rate. We have experienced a patient who has diffuse type PVNS of ankle joint and report an optimal method of surgical treatment.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare proliferative disease affecting joint synovium, tendon sheaths, bursae. The usual treatment for PVNS is a surgical excision. If destructive joint lesions have occurred, complete resections must be performed followed by arthrodesis or arthroplasty. We report a case of a pigmented villonodular synovitis involving an ankle joint which was treated by total ankle replacement for recurrence after simple synovectomy.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a benign proliferative joint disease with an uncertain etiology that uncommonly involves the spine. We present a case of PVNS involving the lumbar spine. A 38-year-old male developed back pain and pain in both legs caused by a mass in the L4 region of the right lamina. After gross total tumor removal, the symptoms improved. The pathological finding was synovial hyperplasia with accumulation of hemosiderin-laden macrophages. He was diagnosed with PVNS and experienced no recurrence for up to 2 years after surgery. In this report, we review the previous literature and discuss etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment.

색소 융모 결절성 활액막염(Pigmented villonodular synovitis)은 활액막, 건막 및 점액낭 등에 융모 증식과 결절을 형성하는 드문 양성 활액막 증식성 질환으로 대부분 성인의 슬관절과 고관절에 발생한다. 수부, 완관절, 견관절 및 주관절에는 드물게 발생하며, 특히 소아에서의 주관절 색소 융모 결절성 활액막염은 아주 드물다. 좌측 주관절 통증이 있는 8세 남아의 단순 주관절 방사선 검사상 좌측 주두와에 양성 골종양과 같은 병변이 관찰되었다. 수술시 좌측 주관절의 활액막 이상 증식 소견이 관찰되어 임상적으로 색소 융모 결절성 활액막염을 의심하였으며, 병변의 개방 소파술 및 좌측 주관절의 근치적 활액막 절제술을 시행하였다. 절제 조직의 조직학적 검사 결과 색소 융모 결절성 활액막염으로 확진 되었다. 술 후 좌측 주관절의 통증이 호전되었으며, 정상 운동범위를 회복하였다. 저자들은 소아의 주관절에 발생한 골종양을 닮은 색소 융모 결절성 활액막염 1예를 보고함과 동시에 문헌 고찰을 하였다.

색소 융모 결절성 활액막염(pigmented villonodular synovitis, PVNS)은 병인이 밝혀지지 않은 증식성 질환으로, 병변의 범위에 따라 국소형과 미만형으로 분류되며, 조직학적으로 양성이지만 파괴적인 성향을 보이므로 연골의 파괴나 주위 조직으로 광범위한 침윤이 가능한 질환이다. 활액막 절제술이 일차적인 치료방법이지만 미만형인 경우에는 주위 조직을 침윤하는 성향 때문에 재발률이 높다. 재발이 반복된 후에는 수술적 절제가 어려워져서 병변부위의 절단이 필요하게 되므로, 광범위한 병변인 경우, 수술이 용이하지 않은 경우, 또는 불완전 절제가 시행된 경우 등에서 방사선치료를 시행하여 재발을 방지할 수 있다고 보고되고 있다. 저자들은 무릎관절의 미만형 색소 융모 결절성 활액막염으로 관절경을 이용한 육안적 활액막 전 절제술 후 방사선치료를 시행한 2예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
