Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a benign synovium disorder affecting joints, tendon sheaths, or bursae. This review focuses on its clinical and MR imaging features.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a benign proliferative disorder of the synovium.
  • The exact cause of PVNS remains uncertain.
  • PVNS can manifest in joints, tendon sheaths, or bursae, presenting as diffuse disease or localized nodules.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical features of pigmented villonodular synovitis.
  • To detail the imaging characteristics of PVNS.
  • To emphasize the findings and diagnostic utility of Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging for PVNS.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of clinical presentations of PVNS.
  • Analysis of imaging findings in PVNS, with a focus on MR imaging.
  • Correlation of imaging findings with clinical manifestations.

Main Results:

  • PVNS presents with varied clinical symptoms depending on the affected site.
  • MR imaging demonstrates characteristic findings aiding in PVNS diagnosis.
  • Specific MR sequences highlight synovial proliferation and hemosiderin deposition.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the clinical and imaging features of PVNS is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
  • MR imaging is a valuable tool for evaluating PVNS, guiding treatment decisions.
  • Further research into the etiology of PVNS may improve management strategies.
