Diagnosis of Pigmented Villonodular Sinovitis of The Knee by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Literature Review and Case Report)
Abstract
Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare disease that affects the synovial membrane of joints, mucous bursa, tendon sheaths, combining features of both inflammatory and neoplastic process. Given the lack of specific clinical symptoms, radiographic, US and CT findings it takes several months from the onset of symptoms to definitive diagnosis. MRI can not only detect and characterize the changes in detail in the joint and to differentiate them from other illnesses by its intrinsic possibility to identifying hemosiderosis which is typical for PVNS, but also to evaluate the extent of lesions, including extraarticular, facilitating selection of the optimal treatment strategy.
