Abstract |
The localized form of pigmented villonodular synovitis of the knee is a rare condition with non-specific symptoms. This makes diagnosis especially difficult when the meniscus is affected. A full assessment with several imaging modalities can help support the preoperative diagnosis. But in the case reported here, the full clinical and paraclinical assessment (X-rays, CT arthrography and MRI) was wrong – the localized form of pigmented villonodular synovitis had mimicked a lateral meniscus injury and was only detected during arthroscopy. The lesion was excised surgically and the diagnosis was confirmed through postoperative histopathology.
