Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis: a recurrent case with atypical location and extra-articular extension
Abstract:
Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (PVNS) remains a diagnostic challenge because of its non-specific presentation and subtle radiological findings. This uncommon entity is characterized by a benign synovial membrane proliferation of joints, tendon sheaths and bursas. The authors report a case of recurrent PVNS affecting an uncommon location (the first left metatarsophalangeal joint), which extended well beyond the joint margins on recurrence, in a patient with non-specific complaints of joint pain and swelling.

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...
Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...
