Pigmented villonodular synovitis in the hand

G P Crawford, R J Offerman

    The Hand
    |October 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) typically affects large joints like the knee. This study highlights rare cases of PVNS originating in the small joints of the hand.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Musculoskeletal Pathology

    Background:

    • Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) and pigmented villonodular tenosynovitis are distinct conditions.
    • PVNS commonly affects the knee and other lower extremity joints.
    • Tenosynovial form is a frequent hand mass, rarely found elsewhere.

    Observation:

    • This report details four cases of PVNS originating in the small joints of the hand.
    • These cases present a rare clinical manifestation of PVNS.

    Findings:

    • The synovial form of PVNS can occur in small hand joints, challenging typical presentation patterns.
    • This finding expands the known anatomical sites for PVNS.

    Implications:

    • Recognizing PVNS in small hand joints is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
  • This expands the differential diagnosis for masses in the small joints of the hand.
