Summary

Pigmented villonodular synovitis with bone involvements have been reported at various sites. The mode of bone involvement is still controversial. In the present report, out of 47 cases of pigmented villonodular synovitis there were six osseous involvements (at ankle, wrist, elbow, scapula, hip and knee) with bizarre manifestations. The lesions at ankle, wrist and elbow were peculiar, mimicking neoplasm. All cases were treated by operative methods.

Zusammenfassung

Über pigmentäre villonoduläre Synovitis mit Knochenbeteiligung wurde verschiedentlich in der Literatur berichtet, wobei der Modus des Knochenbefalls noch unterschiedlich beurteilt wird. Im vorliegenden Bericht werden aus einem Krankengut von 47 Fällen mit pigmentierter villonoduldrer Synovitis 6 mit Knochenbeteiligung (Sprunggelenk, Handgelenk, Ellenbogengelenk, Scapula, Hüftgelenk und Kniegelenk) und einer ungewöhnlichen Manifestation beschrieben. Die Veränderungen am Sprung-, Hand- und Ellenbogengelenk waren durchaus mit einer bösartigen Geschwulst zu verwechseln. Alle geschilderten Fälle wurde operativ behandelt.
