Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis of Ankle Joint - A Case Report.
Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports 2023 November
INTRODUCTION: Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS)is a very uncommon lesion that involves the synovium of joints, tendon sheaths, or bursae. Approximately 2.5% of cases occur around the ankle. PVNS was earlier considered to be a synovial malignancy. Complete surgical excision is curative if bony destruction is not there. Radiotherapy is rarely helpful for residual lesions.
CASE REPORT: We share a case report on PVNS of ankle in a 22-years old male patient. Clinical diagnosis was confirmed with the help of magnetic resonance imaging and histopathology. A surgical excision with synovectomy was carried out. There were no signs of recurrence in 1.5 years follow-up.
CONCLUSION: Complete surgical excision with radical synovectomy is crucial for the treatment of PVNS in rare locations like the ankle joint.
