Summary

Pigmented villonodular synovitis can affect true bursae. The term "pigmented villonodular bursitis" may cause confusion as it is not limited to true synovial bursae.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a proliferative disorder of the synovium.
  • PVNS typically affects joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae.

Observation:

  • Two cases of PVNS affecting true bursae are presented.
  • The term "pigmented villonodular bursitis" is discussed in relation to these cases.

Findings:

  • PVNS can manifest in true bursae.
  • The nomenclature "pigmented villonodular bursitis" may lead to diagnostic ambiguity if not strictly applied to true bursae.

Implications:

  • Clarifying terminology is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment of PVNS.
  • Further research may be needed to standardize the classification of bursal PVNS.
