Extra-articular pigmented villonodular synovitis in distal tibia - Case report - Jun-Beom, Kim M.D My disclosure is in the Final AOFAS Mobile App. I have no potential conflicts with this presentation.
Introduction I Pigment villonodular synovitis is a relatively rare disease known that as a disease similar tumors originating large joints of knee joint and hip joint, mainly. It is characterized in synovial membrane to grow gradually to gradually in Bursitis and Tenosynovitis. Sometimes the small joints are affected have been reported, that occurs mainly hand part is almost and very rare if it occurs in a small joints of the foot.
Introduction II However, the authors had experienced PVNS which had developed in the extra-articular, distal tibia shaft lesion. We`d report the rare case with the literature
Case 44 years old / Male Chief complain palpable mass, for 10years on anterior tibia lesion, left. Past Medical Hx. ; Hyperlipidemia - no medication HTN/DM/TBc (-/-/-) Physical Exam. Mass : firmly and immovable, 3*2 Cm Laboratory test : WNL
Radiologic Evaluation Plain X-ray shows the radio-opaque lesion in anterior distal tibia shaft. In MRI, enhanced pretibial mass, hemangioma, and lipoma is suspected, by radiologist.
Intra-operative findings There are well-defined, yellow-tan soft tissue solid mass Histological Findings There are hemosiderin-laden foam cells and multinucleated giant cells.
Result We performed total excisional biopsy for tumor eventually. We was diagnosed with pingmented villonodular synovitis by pathological findings, which showed hemosiderin-laden foam cells and multinucleated giant cells. Additional treatments such as radiation therapy were not performed At 2 years after surgery, there was no recurrence and complication.
Discussion I Differential diagnosis of the clinical and radiological features of PVNS synovial proliferative disorders : Hemosiderotic synovitis, synovial chondromatosis, crystal synovitis, synovial hemangioma, synovial sarcoma, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, infections, gout, and familial Mediterranean fever Confirmed with histopathological examination fibrous stroma, deposition of hemosiderin,nodules of proliferating collagen-producing polyhedral epithelioid cells, and multinucleated giant cells in the synovial membrane
Discussion II The important message is that the physicians can face such cases of PVNS presenting with unusual extraarticular location. Histologic and radiologic examinations stand as the major objective criteria in reaching the diagnosis.
