Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a benign proliferative disorder of the synovium of joints. It occurs most commonly in the knee joint. The disease is composed of 2 different forms: diffuse and localized. The localized form is less frequent than the diffuse one. Most cases of localized PVNS involve the anterior compartment of the knee and can be usually easily diagnosed and treated with arthroscopy. We experienced a patient of localized PVNS developed on the posterior cruciate ligament, whose main symptom was persistent pain after trauma. This case occurs rarely and complete removal of the lesion was performed arthroscopically, using posterior trans-septal portal. We report this case with review of literatures.
