• However, 2 conditions-synovial chondromatosis and tenosynovial giant cell tumor (pigmented villonodular synovitis)-occur in the lining (synovium) of joints. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Diffuse tenosynovial giant cell tumor has a high local recurrence rate that often leads to further surgery and morbidity. (msdmanuals.com)
  • OBJECTIVE: This study investigated radiographic images and the differential diagnosis of intracranial diffuse tenosynovial giant cell tumor (D-TGCT) in order to better understand the disease and improve the rate of preoperative diagnosis. (bvsalud.org)
  • Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS), also known as diffuse tenosynovial giant cell tumor, is a benign proliferative disorder of uncertain etiology that affects synovial lined joints, bursae, and tendon sheaths (see the images below). (medscape.com)
  • Must be differentiated from diffuse tenosynovial giant cell tumor. (tumorsurgery.org)
  • The tumors arise from neoplastic synovial cells that overexpress a growth factor CSF-1 (colony stimulating factor-1). (msdmanuals.com)
  • Typically occur in the hand where they represent the second most common type of soft tissue tumors after synovial ganglions. (bvsalud.org)
  • Arthroscopy revealed characteristic findings of proliferative synovial disease with numerous loose bodies (Fig 3). (medscape.com)
  • There is a malignant soft tissue tumor called synovial sarcoma that arises in different types of soft tissue but is not of synovial origin and seldom occurs inside of a joint. (msdmanuals.com)
  • MRI also can identify many types of soft-tissue abnormalities about the hip, including synovial cysts, periarticular bursitis, soft tissue masses and articular abnormalities such as synovial chondromatosis. (dieutridau.com)
  • The tumor may be nodular (focally localized) in smaller joints of the hands, feet, and knee, or, more commonly, diffuse in larger joints such as the knee and hip. (msdmanuals.com)
  • The Synovial Joints On-Demand Conference Series is included as part of a 1-year and 2-year annual subscription to MRI Online. (mrionline.com)
  • Two primary forms of PVNS are described: a diffuse form that affects the entire synovial lining of a joint, bursa, or tendon sheath, and a rare focal, or localized, form. (medscape.com)
  • GCTTS present as localized or diffuse proliferation of synovial-like cells, giant cells, inflammatory cells and xanthoma cells along tendon sheaths. (tumorsurgery.org)
  • [ 1 , 2 ] Localized lesions are more common than diffuse involvement, comprising 77% of total lesions in one review, with a 3.3:1 localized-to-diffuse predominance ratio. (medscape.com)
  • PVNS lesions on histology demonstrate synovial cell proliferation, xanthomatous cell accumulation, hemosiderin deposition, and the presence of multinucleated giant cells. (medscape.com)
  • The knee is a complex synovial joint that can be affected by a range of pathologies: ADVERTISEMENT: Supporters see fewer/no ads, Please Note: You can also scroll through stacks with your mouse wheel or the keyboard arrow keys. (thelaunchqueen.com)
  • Care was taken with a meticulous synovial debridement with thorough removal of the loose bodies. (medscape.com)
  • While most of the fragments were free loose bodies, some were transitional from the intrasynovial phase, classic in synovial chondromatosis. (medscape.com)
  • Double-contrast arthroscopic computed tomographic scan confirms intra-articular location of loose bodies, with multiple filling defects characteristic of synovial chondromatosis. (medscape.com)
  • Both are treated by open synovectomy and, for synovial chondromatosis, removal of any intra-articular bodies and metaplastic synovium. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Treatment of synovial chondromatosis may be symptomatic, but if mechanical symptoms are prominent, arthroscopic or open removal of the bodies or synovium is warranted. (msdmanuals.com)
  • On physical examination of the elbow, mild synovial thickening was palpable in the lateral soft spot and diffuse joint line pain was present with range of motion. (medscape.com)
  • On physical examination, he had mild palpable synovial thickening and pain through range of motion, which was limited from 35° of extension to 132° of flexion with 45° of supination and 60° of pronation. (medscape.com)
