Abstract

RESTREPO, Juan Pablo  and  MOLINA, María del Pilar. Pigmented villonodular synovitis. A case report and review of the literature. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2010, vol.17, n.2, pp.132-135. ISSN 0121-8123.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a benign neoplasm with synovial proliferation and hemosiderin deposition. It occurs usually between 3th and 4th decades of life. Typically, it is monoarticular and can affect any joint but most commonly involves the large joints of the lower extremity. Treatment is based on the eradication of the tumor by surgery or radiotherapy.

Keywords : villonodular synovitis; monoarthritis; knee.
