This study details a rare case of pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) in an adolescent

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare joint disorder.
  • It typically affects larger joints like the knee or hip.
  • PVNS is uncommon in pediatric populations and the ankle joint.

Observation:

  • A case of PVNS in an adolescent patient is presented.
  • The patient exhibited monarticular involvement exclusively in the ankle.
  • No congenital anomalies or family history of the condition were noted.

Findings:

  • The case highlights the atypical presentation of PVNS in the ankle of a young patient.
  • Clinical, radiological, and pathological features of this specific PVNS case are reviewed.
  • The rarity of PVNS in the ankle and in childhood is emphasized.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of PVNS presentation in adolescents.
  • It underscores the importance of considering PVNS in pediatric ankle effusions.
  • Further research into pediatric PVNS is warranted for improved diagnosis and management.
