Malignant pigmented villonodular synovitis is rare, but this case shows malignant transformation in the ankle after 64 years. The tumor had a unique spindle-cell histology and metastasized to lymph nodes.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare joint disorder.
  • Malignant transformation of PVNS is exceptionally uncommon and poorly understood.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with symptoms of PVNS at age 21, developing metastatic disease at age 85.
  • The patient had a prolonged clinical history of 64 years from symptom onset to metastatic disease.

Findings:

  • The malignant tumor exhibited a predominant spindle-shaped cell histology, differing from typical PVNS or other sarcomas.
  • The case demonstrated lymph node metastasis, an infrequent occurrence for soft tissue sarcomas.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential for late malignant transformation in PVNS.

  • The unique histological features and metastatic pattern offer new insights into rare sarcoma subtypes.
  • Further research is needed to understand the pathogenesis and treatment of malignant PVNS.
