Nodular pigmented villonodular tenosynovitis

J Foot Surg. 1985 Jan-Feb;24(1):51-3.

Abstract

Pigmented villonodular tenosynovitis is a proliferative disorder of the synovium that can involve the joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae. There are two histologically similar lesions of pigmented villonodular tenosynovitis--nodular pigmented villonodular tenosynovitis and diffuse pigmented villonodular tenosynovitis. The authors present a case involving nodular pigmented villonodular tenosynovitis, which is the more rare form of these two lesions.
