Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVS) is a rare joint disorder. Early diagnosis via arthroscopy and surgical removal (synovectomy) effectively treated two children with recurrent knee effusions.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pediatric Rheumatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVS) is an uncommon disorder affecting joints, typically diagnosed in adults.
  • PVS often presents as a monoarticular condition, meaning it affects a single joint.

Observation:

  • Two pediatric patients, a boy and a girl aged seven, presented with recurrent knee effusions.
  • Both children received medical treatment for other rheumatic conditions for five years prior to PVS diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis of PVS was confirmed through arthroscopy in both pediatric cases.
  • Surgical intervention, specifically synovectomy, resulted in a complete cure for both patients.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering PVS in pediatric patients with persistent knee effusions, even after prolonged misdiagnosis.
