    Pigmented villonodular tenosynovitis (PVNS) is a rare joint condition. This case suggests trauma may be an etiological factor in PVNS development.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Pathology
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Pigmented villonodular tenosynovitis (PVNS) is a rare, benign neoplastic proliferation of the synovium.
    • Its etiology remains largely unknown, with theories including genetic predisposition and inflammatory processes.

    Observation:

    • A case of pigmented villonodular tenosynovitis is presented.
    • The patient experienced a specific traumatic incident, a puncture wound from stepping on a nail, prior to symptom onset.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights the clinical characteristics and course of PVNS.
    • Comparison with existing literature on natural history, histopathology, pathophysiology, etiology, differential diagnosis, and treatment is discussed.

    Implications:

    • This case supports the hypothesis that trauma may be an etiological factor in the development of PVNS.
    • Further research into the role of trauma in PVNS pathogenesis is warranted.
