Abstract:
In 1941, Jaffe and coworkers studied a lesion with histologic appearance of fibrous stroma, pigmented deposition and histiocytic infiltration as well as giant cell, for which they named pigmented villonodullar synovitis, bursitis and tenosynovitis. Thereafter many authors have disscussed etiology, clinical and radiological features, pathology and treatment regarding the disease. Recently we experienced a case of pigmented villonodular synovitis involving an hip joint which was treated by synovectomy and total hip replacement with good result.
