Abstract:
A case of pigmented villonodular synovitis developed in the right ankle joint is reported. The patient was a 25 years old house wife who had complained marked swelling and tenderness over the anterolateral aspect of the right ankle for 2 years. Roentgenological studies showed marked swelling of the ankle joint and erosion of the neck of the talus. Synovectomy of the affected joint was performed. The tumor mass, measuring about 7cm×5cm×2cm in size, was yellowish brown in colour, elastic and soft in consistency, and contained several well encapsulated nodules.
